Ok, i basically keep hearing to just be consistent, so that's what i'm going to keep doing...hopefully in another month or two she'll catch on to it and go to sleep on her own and stay asleep longer and go back to sleep when she's done pottying.

i'm sorry it's not that i'm trying to say she's not a baby, i know she is, it can just be a little overwhelming at times expecially when it make you feel sick and catch cold over not getting enough rest. i am gone to work 10 hours per day with lunch hour and drive time, it's too far to go home for lunch so i don't usually get naps, when i come home, Sadie wants to play with me and not nap like i want to, she's napped with her daddy all day long as is not tired anymore...

he's home most of the day with her, he gets to see her relax and sleep and enjoy her, i have to deal with her hyperness and crazy behavior because she's ready to play again.

he gets upset about getting up in the night, but he gets to sleep until 1pm if he wants to and i have to get up at 6am and get ready so getting up three times at night SUCKS for me.

he helps as much as he can, and most nights he's up once or twice so i can sleep, but last night he was sick and i did all the work and now i'm coming down with a cold and won't want to be up all night either...

it's just frustrating, i'm sorry i sound like a terrible mom, i love my puppy to death, i don't want to give her back or anything, i'm just venting a little here, she's a joy to have when she's good and when she's sleepy, or when her play mood is at the same time as my play mood, but we sometimes are on opposite moods when i want to sleep and she wants to play and it's just tiring.

i promise i love her and won't stop trying and persisting with her, just had to vent a little of my stress and sleepiness.
