  Mine start to unwind and slow down (like the Slowsky turtles) about 7 PM.  I hold and pet them, rub their bellies and heads and watch TV until about 8 PM and then I tuck them in.  The youngest puppy still sleeps in her covered carrier and the elder puppy sleeps right tight next to me.  After the youngest is spayed and healed I will let her sleep with me, too.  |
