My 5month baby cries and barkes for hours

[louie's mom]

THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT ADVICE. I AM GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING WITH LOUIE. HE IS JUST OVER THREE MONTHS OLD AND HE CRIES EVERYTIME THE LEAVE THE ROOM. THIS MORNING I COULD HEAR HIM WHEN I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE SHOWER. AND WE HAVE A HARD TIME WITH HIM AT NIGHT. HE WON'T SLEEP IN HIS CRATE AND OUR BED IS TOO HIGH I AM AFARID HE WILL FALL OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. HE HAS A BED IN THE LIVING ROOM AND WE HAVE TO SNEEK OUT ONCE HE IS ASLEEP. BUT IF HE CATCHES YOU LEAVING YOU HAVE TO WAIT ALL OVER AGAIN. I AM GOING TO GO TO PETSMART IN THE MORNING AND GET HIM ONE OF THOSE TOYS AND STUFF IT WITH TREATS. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? I AM SO WORRIED ABOUT GIVING HIM THE WRONG THINGS TO EAT. I HAVE HEAD SUCH HORRIBLE STORIES ABOUT RAW HIDE CHEWS AND SUCH. WE HAVE ANOTHER DOG AT HOME A LASA WHO HE ADORES BUT SHE IS OLDER AND COULD CARE LESS. I THINK IT IS BECAUSE WE HAD A PUPPY, BEFORE LOUIE . WE GOT LAST YEAR ON HALLOWEEN AND HE PASSED AWAY THIS PAST MAY. IT WAS A GREAT LOSS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY INCLUDING MADELINE. SHE WAS VERY LOST WITHOUT HIM. THEY WERE TRUELY PALS. THEY PLAYED TOGETHER EVERYDAY. SO RIGHT NOW SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF LOUIE.

THANKS A BUNCH, ANNETTE AND LOUIE
