Huey usually has someone home with him because I work 12 hour nights & hubby works days, but there are times that hubby goes out of town & I have to work 12 (usually gone closer to 14) hour shifts for several nights at a time. Since Huey is so dramatic & acts like he has been left on a desert island for weeks without company when I get home in the mornings, I bought a nanny-cam so I could watch him from my cell phone when he is home alone. Guess what? He slept the entire night each time I watched him with a couple of trips to potty & to the toy box for something to play with. Close to time for me to get home, he moved to the den where he can watch for my car coming down the street. As soon as he saw my car, he ran back to the bedroom & assumed the "poor pitiful me" position-ears down, quivering, high pitched squeeling noises coming from him...the little faker!
Moral of the story-they are sneaky little buggers, but yours will probably do like the rest; sleep.
