Mickey sleeps through the night and has since a few nights after we got him home about a month ago. He is almost 18 weeks right now. He typically eats his dinner and has water around 6 or 7 pm. Then we go for a nice long walk around the neighborhood (30-40 minutes). After that, we come in and he has water and we leave it down for a while. He plays with each of my children while I bathe the other--and with my husband while I put the kids to bed. During that time, my husband usually picks up the water and takes him out briefly so that he can go if he has to. For the rest of the evening, I play with him or just hold him and he usually falls asleep on my lap. I put him in his crate around 11. He never barks or cries when he wakes up in the morning..he waits for us. We can get up and walk around....and do whatever, but I try to get dressed quickly and take him out. He never has an accident or anything in his crate. We usually get him up around 7 or 8.
Mickey is really high energy and very playful...He loves to play with his toys and play ball throughout the day and in the evening...and of course, my kids play with him like crazy! I think he's just exhausted by night time! |
