I just hate leaving him in his pen, but it's impossible to get stuff done around here! I will set him in his pen, he has plenty of toys, but will whine and jump on the sides when he sees me. Sometimes I cover it with a blanket so he can't see me, but I'm so paranoid about getting him outside to go potty so I feel guilty if i'm not there to hear him whine to go potty. But seriously. . . I need my alone time....is that horrible? Sometimes with his puppy-ness it gets overwhelming. I don't know how those with 5 etc., do it!
Last night Uno went to bed at about 11:45 p.m. and woke up at 5 am for a potty break. He wouldn't quit whining so we went outside again...We tried going for a walk at 6am, he still doesn't get the 'walk' (hopefully we do before puppy class on tuesday

)
Oh...I forgot to mention....I sleep downstairs on the couch because that's where his pen is....Because 90% of the day we are downstairs, so it makes more sense to keep it down here and I don't want to keep taking it down and moving it upstairs to my bedroom. My mom says that I should keep him down here, and go sleep upstairs in my own room and that way he won't realize that he can wake me up and he'll get used to not having someone rush with every whine. . . . . . .what are your thoughts?
