Maddie had a larger wire type crate for during the day and started sleeping with me at night. After a couple of times of her waking and jumping off the bed at night before I could catch her, I brought her plastic travel crate and put her in it at night on top of my bed. She is now 2 and when I say bed time, she runs to my bed, up the stairs and into her crate. She will actually whine at me until I close the door. She has a big soft bed with a big fluffy blanket and absolutely loves it in there. Occasionally she will whine and I will open the door and she gets out and snuggles up next to me. But as soon as I move to get comfortable, she huffs and gets up and goes back to her bed. If she is tired, she will just go by herself and put herself to bed. Sometimes I go to my room to take a shower and she's already put herself to bed. She gets very fussy if I don't stay in the bedroom but go back into the family room to watch tv. |
