Our Yorkie used to sleep in the bed with us each night and sleep through the night, no problem. Lately, she whines when in bed when it's time to sleep until we let her down, and she goes under the bed (her new favorite place). However this is a problem because she now wakes up 2-3 times a night, gets us up, demands tons of water, and usually has already had an accident (we use reusable diapers because our Yorkie is notorious for accidents.) took her to the vet thinking she might be diabetic since her cataracts made her blind last year, but saw nothing wrong in her bloodwork.

We are thinking of just leaving her in her kennel all night downstairs in the laundry room and giving her water...and laying a pee pad or using a diaper. however she does not like this and barks through the night, and her sleep schedule may get all twisted around. My question is, will she eventually get used to it and sleep through the night in her kennel, or are we making the situation worse?
