[Wallee]

When I first got Wallee, I was thrilled that after his transitional 2 weeks here he would sleep 7 to 8 hours a night.
Lately we have been going to bed at the same time (between 9:30 and 10) and he has been getting me up between 2:30 and 3 am. When he was younger, he would occasionally wake and I would put him on his pad to pee and straight back to his crate, no issues. Also, until this past couple weeks, he would follow me to my room and go into his crate on his own. Now, I have to catch him and take him there. His crate has never been used for punishment and he only has access to it at night as it stays in my bedroom (he still hasnt earned free run of the entire house). I thought at first that perhaps the cats were waking him so tried sleeping with the door closed to keep them out. Nope, 2:30 am we were up. He went outside for a pee and poo and when I put him back in his crate he wouldn't stop whining. At 3 I got up, he chewed his antler for a bit (which he refused in his crate) and now he is sleeping in one of the other dog beds here in the living room. Guaranteed he will sleep there for hours.Does anyone have any idea why he wont sleep through in his crate any more? I know the weather has been too cold for walks but I make sure I play ball for hours every day to make up for it. Plus, as I said now he will sleep in this bed for hours...
