Thanks again everybody for the compliments! We had a long night last night, her inner diva came out lol. She howled and barked (only the 2nd time I heard her bark) basically all night long. Little monkey. I thought her crate was way too big (after taking her to potty several times to no avail, she ended up pooping her crate) so I put her in a little hard cat-type crate on my nightstand with a blankie over which worked for a little while but then she woke up and barked and barked. Took her to potty, no go but then she peed on the carpet lol. She slept in her crate for a couple hours and then whine and barked. I finally gave in (I know, I know..but that little face) and let her sleep with me after she peed and she was as good as gold. I don't know if I should keep crate training her or let her sleep with me in a little bed with high "walls" to keep her secure. I'm worried abour her falling or me rolling over on her or peeing the bed. I always intended on letting her sleep with me once she was potty trained and behaviour trained so that she was aware that I am the alpha dog and she can sleep with me on my terms only but she thinks otherwise LOL.

She also had her first bath (with me anyways) last night...she was soo good. She shook like a leaf but didn't cry or try to get away or anything. This little diva has me wrapped around her little finger LOL

Any advice on the sleeping issue? I know she will eventually give up, I'm just worried about being able to function in school next week

Thanks!
D- and Zoe
