People weren't kidding when they said that I'd be getting no sleep with puppies. And it's not puppies' fault, it's Fury's. My roommate had a friend spend the night last time and every time he came out, Fury would bark her head off at him (and interestingly enough, Optimus Prime would stand there doing her best like a mini Fury - not sure how I feel about that). Then she would tear at her ex-pen because since this guy was roaming the house, I decided it would be better for all involved if she just stayed in there. Finally, she got what she wanted in that she got to stay in the room. But even then, she woke me up to go to the bathroom (this was something she started while pregnant and I was lenient and this is what happens). And then in the morning, the puppies were restless so it was paper changing and feeding time.
I feel like I am getting dragged through a truck. Happily, I don't have an 8 to 5 job, so I can sleep in. But when I am used to waking up at 7:30 - consistent arising at 10 am feels extremely dirty. Only to do it all again tomorrow.

Now I understand why some people put their whelping boxes in the basement.
ReplyDeleteHey Kristin,
ReplyDeleteHave you considered convering up the pen *top and sides* with a sheet? When I had my corgi's were barking like that I was adviced to try that on there kennels when they sleep.
Try that out, it will keep them from seeing, but obviosuly they can hear it. If Furry starts barking when she heres someone walk in, correct her a few times with a stern voice and she may think that its you everytime someone walks by the kennel at night.
I hope this helps your sleeping problem. Also use a thin sheet thats not see through.
4 week old pictures please.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on them, Amy. I'll have most of them to Kristin this evening.
