Joey use to be great about sleeping in, I’d just tell him “No”, and he didn’t argue, he went back to sleep. My little foster is another story, he’s doesn’t know what the word “no” means, and he doesn’t bark when he wants me up, he crys, how can I sleep through that? This also, really upsets Joey who comes up from under the covers to investigate and then starts barking. The thing of it is, they want to eat, I gave in and started feeding them at 4:00 AM, but they started getting up at 3:00 then 2:00, and it’s like every 15 minutes they put on this routine, I get them settled and boom the little foster gets up again. I’ve been working this week to train them to sleep till 5:00 and it’s been very hard. He's so persistent. It was easy with one, with two, it’s so much harder, they work as a team. I think I'm going to start using an alarm just because I want that to wake them instead of their own internal clocks, and maybe gradually, I can set it later and later. |
