Thanks for all the great advice. He is FINALLY sleeping, and not whining at my side, but it's been non stop all day. I really hope this stops soon. I don't know how much of it me, or my bf can take of it!! I'm looking into a 'buster cube'.
I took him around a lake today...a nice long walk with lots of outside stimulants...he whined the whole way there and back...Maybe it helped a little since he's sleeping now. As soon as I stand up from this chair, he'll be up and at my side again...

Sooo exhausting!
