 We're still trying - 3rd night
2nd night was not too good either. But I did discover as I almost gave in at 4 AM that he want's to know I'm nearby. So I put his blanket in a laundry basket and pulled it next to the couch. I was able to put my arm down and stroke him to calm him down. He slept and stayed in there until the alarm went off at 6. I forgot it was Sunday. Actually he didn't get up when the alarm went off. Today I made his crate comfy and got him to go in by himself. He napped in there several times during the day. Tonight we're going to put the crate in our room and hopefully he will sleep in there. I have work in the AM. I am a bit tired. I'll keep you posted. It appears that all the new sounds in this new environment get him fired up. Last night a siren woke him up. He's a country dog learning to live in the city. |
