Hey everyone - maybe someone can help me sort this sleeping dilemna out.....when my 1yr old yorkie was about 8/9 months - she was finally able to sleep in my bed with me (i also have 3 cats and 1 foster cat that like to sleep in there as well, although they seemed to give Peanut first dibs!). She used to be so good about sleeping all night right next to me and waking up sleepy eyed! But lately (and I don't know if this is because I have another yorkie now (since end of Dec) she's been getting up and chasing the cats and playing with the cats while I'm asleep! When I try to shut the door so she's not disturbed by whatever they're doing in the other room - she cries like she has to go potty and I let her out of the room................last nite I finally tried putting her back in the crate......yeah like that worked.

Any suggestsion? I cannot sleep - she's keeping me up half the night back and forth back and forth!!!!!!!!!! And the baby (whose only 3 mos) sleeps thru the night! GO FIGURE!!!!!!!!

Is she acting out because of the baby - or is it that now that she realizes she's FREEEE while I'm sleeping - she's taking advantage!
