Jemma Refuses to sleep with me, ideas please? I am really sad, I really am. Jemma has slept with me since a week after I got her home. What a snuggle bug and I love it. She knows the words nitety nite and beddy bye.
THEN, my 8 yr old granddaughter spent the night with me Wed. night. Jemma just cried when I took her to bed. I thought shoot, she wants with my granddaughter. So I took her puppy pen and put it near my granddaughter and she went into her little bed, laid down with her head facing my granddaughter. My granddaughter was already asleep.
Last time my granddaughter went home, Jemma wouldn't eat and seemed so depressed. This time she is eating but from Wed on, she won't sleep me me now. She goes to her puppy pen and gets in her little bed and stares at me. Her puppy pen has 2 zippered doors. During the day I keep one open so she can go in and out of it if she chooses.
When I go to pick her up for bed she puts her head down, a indication to me that she doesn't want to go. I won't force her and I'm not going to do something if she doesn't want too.
I can't believe this but I'm finding myself getting up twice a night to go see if she wants to come to bed yet. Nope. But in the morning when I get up, she does.
And here is the reason why. Every morning when I get up, Jemma moves into the spot where I slept, stretches out, legs straight ahead and legs extended out behind her, head down. Don't laugh but she got a massage every moring. Her shoulders and little neck. It is cute because when you do it you can se her little toes open and close. THAT is the only reason she wants the bed in th morning. Then she wants off the bed and the day starts.
Any idea what the change could be? By now she has to see my granddaughter isn't coming back. I really miss her. I live alone and she's my little snuggle bug....was.
Jemma is 6 1/2 months old.
Thank you in advance for any ideas.
