Hi, I feel your pain. I had a sick pom who had cushing's disease and I had to get up every couple hours at night to feed her and let her out. Sadly she passed in February, but now my almost 4 year old Pixie is getting me up every 1 1/2 hours to eat. She is so persistant that I tried ignoring her for 3 hours the other night and she never stopped running back and forth on the bed, kicking her back feet and barking at me. I tried crating her she screamed so I had to take her out or my husband and dtr would kill me. The past few nights I have used a small spray bottle with a touch of vinegar and the rest water and when she tries to get me up I spray her (a little mist really). Once last night after I sprayer her she went and laid back down for awhile. I will let you know if it ends up working. I just can't get by on getting woken up 4 times a night. I am going to have her blood tested to make sure she doesn't have any medical condition but she is fine all day and evening. I feel so mean spraying her but it doesn't hurt her and I have to break the habit. I hope you get some ideas to try. |
