I would get up twice a night to pee her, then when she stayed dry all night or I should say quiet cause she would "ask" to be let out to pee , I ended up letting her sleep in my bed. And she can't get close enough. All they want is security so be patient.....it's a transition for them they are taken away from everything they have ever known into the strange and unknown.......anyway I don't use the pen much anymore cause it is on our main floor which is tile and her home area. We block off the other room when we leave and she has a pig pillow she would rather lay on.
I put the pen on another level with pee pads and she uses that but doesn't the cave bed inside.......me oh my..she is 8 months old now, and take lots of pictures , they grow fast!
Good luck to you! |
I was planning on doing something similar. I have a little crate on my night stand next to my bed. I have a self warming pad on the way from dr. foster's and smith (among other things). Hopefully she will be content in there over night and in the pen when I'm out. My husband is against dogs in the bed so I'll have to work something out.
Our apartment is not very big so I'm hoping to use the pen for a while. I'll be happy if it serves it's purpose for at least a year.
I'll be snapping and posting pics like crazy!
