Hi, Webster is 4 1/2 months old. He was sleeping in his crate from 930 pm - 630 am. I was thrilled. Then I decided to let him relax on my bed for a little while before lights out. Everything was good. He is always so happy in the mornings that I decided to start the day off with a few minutes together in my bed to start the day off right. Now he wakes up every 1-2 hours through the night. He doesn't have to go to the bathroom. He just wants to be with me. So to get some sleep I put him in bed with me. On the second night he chewed a hole in my new duvet cover. So, back to the kennel. Now we don't sleep again. He is chewing on everything. After reading these pages I am ready to assume that he just needs to sleep with me and that doesn't make me a bad Mom but what about that chewing?
