 Barked: Tue May 24, '05 7:27am PST |
 | |  | | I too was lucky. Tuck was 9 wks when he came home with me and after 3 nights of getting up in the middle of the night when he cried, he slept thru the night (9:30 pm -6 am). If I don't set an alarm, sometimes we both sleep thru until 7 or later. I also take up his water dish between 7 and 8 pm. I keep his crate in my room and he goes in easily and settles right down. ** HOWEVER (!)... every now and then he will wake up in the night and start playing with his blanket, his knotted sock, or his stuffed Snuggle Puppy. You would think he had bricks in the crate with him! He isn't crying, barking, growling, or whining... in his mind he is probably playing quietly. But it keeps me awake. So if it is within an hour or two of when we normally get up, I get him up and take him out to potty, then give him water and a biscuit and leave him in his gated area downstairs where he spends most of his day and I go back to bed for an hour or two. I worry that by doing this I will undo all the good work he has been doing. Any thoughts? |  |  | |  |

We do walk her and pick up the water close to 2 hours before bed. She doesnt really whine when we let her out in the middle of the night..it is rather quiet, it is just every day around 4:30-5:00 she us UP. ughhh...we will just have to leave her until the alarm goes off at 6:00 from the sounds of it. It is just do heart breaking to listen to. Of course i am a first time
