Hello, ok now I can start again,I live in Brittany France (since 1991) my old yorkie will be 15 in Nov, he has had a spanish dog as a friend since 2006, and recently a whippet who will be 2 this October. Rex was on heart pills for 3 yrs only to find out he didn't need them, changed vets because of this. He had a slight stroke in 2013, this I thinik was due to these pils as they dialate the veins. He was in our camper van with the other dog at our daughters wedding, and he got a bit stressed. He has two small cataractes in both eyes and is going deaf. He was injured by a nasty person with a kick on the beach a few months ago, but with all our loving care his slipped disc is now better, although very careful with him now, no long walks. My problem is he starts crying early in the mornings, he sleeps with the other dogs down stairs, before never any problems. He starts at 6 am now 5am, I've been down to see if all ok, been kind and reasuring with him, then tried telling him off, but 20 mins later he starts again, the noise is just awful, it's causing my cats, instead of just going down stairs and out side or using the lit tray up stairs, to piss in the rooms, they are fightened to go down stairs. The spanish Dog has now started to tell him off, it's getting on her nerves. I'm getting extremely tired, and nearly fell down stairs my self the other day. My grand daughter can't come, when she does she is woken up and a 3 yrs old woken up at 6 am is annoying when she normally sleeps on. Is it because he is going deaf and can't see properly so is feeling insecure with out me ???? he has the other dogs with him, it's a sif, ok I have slept enough it's about time you get up !!!! he goes out through the cat flap to do his toilet like always. I can't take him upstairs, otherwise he will want to be on the bed and it's too high, might hurt his back, can't leave him on the floor as he needs to do a wee in the night, he can't use the stairs anymore, too much jolting for his back. Has anyone got a solution so he keeps quiet like he did before. Ths noise he makes is just awful, it gets right through to you. Thanks if anyone has some ideas. Brittany29
