She had been in her box ever night since she arrived on Sunday but the night before she had started to scream bloody murder and then after half an hour of her doing it again last night I thought I'd just try putting her in the kitchen to see how it goes. I have M.E. so I desperately need my sleep so it really was my last option. She just does not stop, I wouldn't be surprised if she carried on yelling all night. I am sure it's just that she wants to be with me in my bed but until she is house trained I dont feel I should allow that. Dont want her piddling/pooping inside at night. I check her box every day and she has not done it in there so that's one thing ruled out. I didn't have her shipped so there's no previous association with her box. Think I'll try having her box beside my bed tonight so I can put my fingers through to comfort her, but if that doesn't work I'll try getting a pen. I really am worried that she is unhappy at night, and so want to find a way round this, I dont want my baby girl crying. So thank you all so much for your suggestions! Jess  |
Jess, she might sleep way better with you! Daizy was like that when she was little...she was scared and lonely but as soon as I let her sleep with me...she would sleep as LONG as I do. I did put little bells on her collar just in case she woke up in the night! I have to admit we did have a tiny tinkle accident.....but she got much better...especially if I took her out right before bed....you could always keep a pad right next to your bed...so if she wakes up you can put her down on it...and not have to go outside ya know?
Hope you work it out soon, not only for her sake but for yours too!
