When my b/f and I first got our yorkie he clearly stated that the dog would be sleeping in her crate and would not be allowed in our bed. I was definately on the same page. Well, She howled, and cried and howled and cried, all night every night. I would not have believed it possible if I had not heard it myself. She would pace and shake her crate back and forth and then bite at the latch until she figured out a way to open the door. She just refused the crate all together. We moved onto the pen... finally got her to stay in the crate ( she would still bounce and cry quite a bit.)
After all that training....... My b/f had to go away for 8 months... and I got so lonely in the bed.. yeah, you guessed it... I brought her to bed with me. I guess the long winded point I was making is just this.... I would not bother picking a fight with your g/f over this issue.... because I would not be surprised if with in a month of your g/f leaving.. you don't have those lil' pups in your bed because you miss your g/f. Just my thought on it : )
btw.. thank you to your g/f for her service ( assuming its military ) |
