Bella sleeps in her crate, happily, all night. She gets up around 7-7:30 a.m. for a potty break, then she crawls back into bed with us. She has to slee behind my knees when they are bent upward. Once she cuddles there, she sleeps for another 1-2 hours. During that time I lay perfectly still as my knees stiffen and my legs cramp. The slightest movement makes her moan and groan. Oh how quickly they worm their way into our hearts and our beds, then before you knowi it they have completely taken over. Complaining, NO, we love each and every minute. Don't really understand it, but love it!
