Anyway, he started barking but he wasn't as loud.. every once in a while, he would let out a loud one.. I just ignored him... Then I thought of the "white noise" machine that I would use when he was sleeping in my bed at night with me -- this would block out any noise outside, etc. I put the machine on my breakfast bar and went back to bed... and about 10 minutes later, he stopped crying/barking and fell asleep. He slept right through the night -- AND I DID TOO!!!!!
I'll keep doing this -- I think I'm on to something here!
Thanks for all of your replies... I really appreciate it -- and I'm anxious to see how he changes after he is neutered next Friday.

It is SO gratifying when the advice we give actually works!! LOL!! Nice job, you are a great puppy mom, Caroline! Let us know if neutering changes his behavior even more, OK?
Sleep well, my friends!
