My little one started to wake me up in the middle of the night a little over a year ago. No whining, but she would just sit and stare at me or paw at me until I would wake up. Could not figure it out, but started getting up with her. She would lead me into the kitchen by the treat jar. Bad I know, but I would give her a little biscuit and then she would go back to sleep. She seems to like the mid-sleep snack, we have a quick cuddle and she goes back to sleep. Like you, I work all day and she is at home sleeping. I try to give her a chewy (rawhide or booda bone) in the evenings now which tends to tire her out. Also, I take her for a nice long walk in the evenings most nights. The extra activity seems to have helped out. Good luck. |
