LOL! That is so true!! Hommie, please don't give up on your baby. This is the probably the hardest time for new parents to puppies. Your baby WILL whine, you WILL lose sleep. But I promise you, it DOES get better!!! Maybe not in a week or a month. It could be 2 months or 3. Just remember, your little one is a pack animal, they want to be with you. When you brought your puppy home, she was taken away from everything she knew all of her life. You are her new parents, pack leaders, she is just looking to you for direction. These sleepless nights will pass! I used a crate for my two little ones at night, but I put it on the bed with me. That way I could wake and let them out when they needed to go. Once your baby is comfortable in her new surroundings and comes to understand this is her home and you always come back to her, it will get easier. The payoff is sooooo worth the sleep lost and the patience required for these little butts.
