Default crying puppy

When we first got Belle she was 12 weeks old and tiny so there was no way I was going to let her sleep with us. She has a crate that I had bought and I put several soft blankets in there plus I had a teddy bear that you can put in the microwave to make it warm. She really loved that. You can also buy stuffed toys that have a sound like the puppies mama's heart beating. Belle would start to cry and yip so I did what I had done with our Schnauzer, I put a blanket over the crate so she couldn't see anything and It also kept her warmer. She sleeps in the crate next to me at night. When she would start to cry, I kind of hit the door of the crate gently and told her no. It only took about foour or five times and she quit and cuddled up with the bear and has been sleeping that way ever since and she just turned a year old. Even in the daytime if I lay down, I have Fibromyalgia and rest in the afternoon, I cover her crate and she doesn't make a sound. All you can really do is be patient. You can make a corn warmer yourself that can be microwaved to put under blankets to keep baby warm. If you are interested, let me know and I'll tell you how to make one. Good luck
