This is what has been keeping me away from the computer
Don't let her sleeping, jailed appearance fool you. This is a high-speed, mightily independent monster with a bladder the size of a thimble and big, nasty teeth! (well, ok, little nasty teeth...)
It's a miracle she even sleeps. She didn't shut up until 6 AM Saturday, and last night was pretty bad, although she quit crying a LOT earlier. I'm hopeful that sleeping in the crate/ pen/ whatever means she's ok with it now......
Aw, what a sweetie.
Have you tried putting a clock (that ticks) under her pillow? We did that when our girls were new and it really helped with the crying.

Thank God my dog is a year old now; I couldn't live through puppyhood again...!

Posted by: Richmond at January 7, 2008 07:52 AMOh man, puppy crying all night! How well I remember that phase. I figured out one way to stop the crying was to put the puppy in a big cardboard box with blankies *on the floor next to the bed*. Then I dangled my arm and hand downward and into the box. She seemed comforted and slept quietly. I got some sleep too, finally. Maybe my arm was a little numb the next day. Heh. I'm not saying this is a good or proper technique, just that when I got desperate for a quiet night's sleep . . . it worked.

Posted by: dogette at January 7, 2008 04:55 PMlooks like a sweetie! We have our younest poodle box trained..she heads for it at night to sleep..and we close the door. My older dawg..Miss Sassie Poodle has been sleeping with me since she was two months old and she is 14 now..I think the highlight of her day now is to cuddle up next to me at night..and sometimes when I am up late she comes looking for me and barks at me until I go to bed..
