Bedtime for your baby - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Well usually Dh and I will be laying on the couch watching TV till about 9:00. Peanut will be usually up snuggled with me. Then when DH says "lets go to bed" ( about 9-9:30) Peanut will pop up and run to his crate in our bedroom.

DH wakes up first, takes Pnut potty and Pnut will run to the bedroom and climb on my head and give me kisses to wake me up!

When my babies are tired they just go into our beds and go to sleep. They don't wait for my friend and I to go to bed. They really have no set bed time. When they're tired they go to sleep.

The doggies will be in the living room playing until around 9:00 when they fall asleep. Whenever I go to bed, I'll say "Let's go to bed" and they'll go to the bedroom. Tristan will go to his bed but Lily always stands there and watches me until I give her kisses and hugs & tell her to go to bed then she'll go to her bed. :P

Well my two boys normally start napping in the living room around 7 and then when I get ready to go to bed around 10 they go outside first and then they both get in the bed. Most of the time they both get under the comforter but on top of the sheets and they MUST be touching some part of my body. I will say if it's on the weekend they don't care if I stay up later. They just keep napping in the living room until I'm ready.

My boys usually take naps around 8:30 or so. When I'm ready for bed around 11 I take them for their last potty break (so i think). They come inside and spend 5 minutes looking for things they want to sleep with. Both of them hop on the bed and realize that one of them has the better toy, pillow, blankie, bone or whatever it may be. We now proceed with WWF wrestling on the bed until Max decides to have the zoomies and then a final bang at the potty bell. By the time Max and I come in, Cooper is fast asleep, Max sniffs him and then lays in his kennel. 5 minute later Max comes out of the kennel and splats his long legs across the entire bed. This is the same every night.

Buster usually is ready for bed around 11pm. If I am watching tv he climbs on top of the backrest so he is level with me and announces it is bed time. If I am not ready he gets more vocal in letting me know. If I do not respond he goes to my roommate and barks at him to tell me it is time to go to bed. I usually give him a good night treat and if I forget he usually remembers and comes up to my pillow and lets me know I forgot. I have to laugh because I never realized I would be ruled by this eight pound muppy (muppet+puppy)

I can just visualize this scene night after night

There is 1 variation. If Cooper is not asleep after Max's final potty break (he never goes potty, just rings the bell & I take him out), Max will come back in and start wrestling again. Max then has to go into what we call "lock down" in his kennel so he can calm down. The time from the initial potty with both boys to "lock down" could very well be 45 minutes! I'm tired

Ever since the snow came and walking has been out, Dinky's bedtime routine has not been great. He used to come in from the evening walk, play for about 15 minutes, and hit the sofa. We'd wake him at 9, he would go potty, and then right to bed.
NOW, he wants to play all night, crash for a bit, and even play after lights are out. Last night I had to scoop him up and put him into his crate because he was frolicking in my bed instead of curling up and settling in.
It's not just the lack of the walk, he is just about 11 months old, and he is quite the teenager. We've had to do lots of retraining recently. He's making "reprogress."

It's good to know they pretty much rule the roost everywhere!
