I feel bad for you Gina. I can't imagine not sleeping at night. I would be nuts
without my sleep.
Buddy is home alone all day and I like you play in the evening with him after he eats. He will curl up with me for awhile and then wants to play again.
I throw the ball from the recliner
time after time to poop him out.
I take him for a walk, no matter how cold, around 9:30 or so for about
15mins. He sleeps next to me all night and only growls under his breath in the dark if he hears something. I hope the walk works for Lexie. It may take time but I would definetly walk her at night and throw the ball or toy
from the couch so you don't have to get up, just poop her out.
Her pattern needs to be changed. How about the coins in the can method for stopping the barking. Shake the can in the dark and scare the _____ out of her! Might work.
Good luck,
Carol
