Last night was such a different story! I think Luna is getting more comfortable and is starting to realize that we really love her. So, here I was at 2:15am, hearing Luna crying away. I got scared because she just wouldn't stop, and it was a much louder cry then I have heard from her.
I really didn't know what to do to calm her down, and I didn't know if just letting her cry was what I should have done. So, I took her out and she was of course all energetic! I decided to get her play pen and put it next to my bed to see if that would calm her down, but she just wanted to jump out of there. So I put her puppy pillow with my radio (which has a heartbeat sound option) under it because the one that comes with the pillow must be too low. Well wouldn't you know? Luna feel right asleep and didn't wake up for another 4 hours! I was really happy about that because I could finally sleep again, hehehe.
I'm not too good with understanding how Luna's sleeping pattern should be. Am I suppose to control her sleep intake? As in play with her an hour and then put her to bed for another 3 hrs (it's what the breeder said, but I'm not sure if it was literally or that strict)? Is that teaching her right? I really need suggestions, I am having the most trouble with this because when I put her back to nap she cries and cries... then seems to fall asleep within 10-20 mins. I am afraid that she falls asleep because she feels she has no other choice and is tried from all the crying. I don't want to send her mixed messages, so please help me here.
Thank you.
