Hi everyone (new to the group here) I wanted to post a question and hopefully someone has a suggestion for me. Here's the deal....I recently rescued a sweet lil' fella ("Roy" is his name) and Im having a VERY hard time getting him to sleep in his own bed.
My husband is getting annoyed because he doesn't want "Roy" in bed with us....however, everytime I put "Roy" in his own bed and tell him to lay down and stay....he complies, but only until I start to walk away LOL then he follows me to my bed.
I tried ignoring him but he continues to jump up and down and cry until I either give in or he manages to jump up to our bed (I didn't think he could do it, but he did!) By then Im tired and just want some sleep so....Roy snuggles up next to me, and my husband rolls over and turns his back to me LOL
I need help! I love Roy but I really would love for him to sleep in his OWN bed.
