how late do your babies stay up? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Kelseysmom · 03-25-2011, 08:12 PM

just wondering...for those of you whose furbabies are crate trained...when do you "put them to bed". I find myself letting Kelsey stay up later out of her crate. But normally i put her to bed around ten pm.

how about you?

Maci goes to bed in her crate at 10, Lil gets free range and bed hops from the kids til I go to bed.

yorkietalkjilly · 03-25-2011, 08:29 PM

Tibbe has always crashed about 9 - 10 pm.

Scoobers goes to bed when it's kiddy bed time about 8 pm although he seems to get up around 11 pm to check on me or to come and sneak between beds
Elvis naps all day like a cat so he's up and down around the clock alough he is a grumper in the morning if woken up too early...
Princess goes to bed when Dad does but depending on his shift she she will sit at the window until he gets off work. She also takes a nap from 12-2 usually like a toddler...disapears to her box to nap

We have two that are crate trained and one that cannot...but now leave the crate doors open since all are potty trained and undestand bed time is settle down time.

Quincy comes to me between 8:30 and 9 and barks to tell me its time for bed I'm on his schedule I think

mauirobin · 03-26-2011, 02:03 AM

Mine go to bed when I do...I'm usually an early bird, but on the off-chance I do stay up late, they "nap" at my feet in their beds. They sleep with me, and I do find it interesting that they don't sleep in my bed without me, preferring to sleep in their beds. But then again, they follow me everywhere, & probably think they are missing something if they were in bed without me, lol.

Harley is a night owl, always has been. He has his own room, he usually goes to bed between 10 and 12pm. He gets up whenever the first one of us is up, sometimes it's 7am and sometimes it's 10am. We're both students so he sleeps during the day when we're gone.
But as soon as I put him in his room and turn off the lights he goes and eats his kibble

.

personally I've learned from experience with my horses that while consistency is nice, I hate it when animals have a "schedule", I'd go out to the barn to ride a horse at 6pm and they'd all get angry and start banging on the walls that they wanted supper.
So I try to make it the same for Harley, I want him to not beg for his food or bed time, etc, or put up a fuss if I'm early. He has good manners, and it also helps cause we travel a lot with him, so it means his schedule doesn't flip around so much when we're on the road.

RileyDC · 03-26-2011, 04:24 AM

Riley usually goes to bed around 10 or 11pm.....
He is usually ready to go before I am. LOL
This past week he has been sleeping on the bed. Down by my feet...
He usually wakes me around 6:15am.
A couple of nights though he woke me around 4am wanting
to play and in his x-pen he would go.

Zanny · 03-26-2011, 05:25 AM

For Sakura she goes to bed about 9:00 no matter how long she has napped during the day. She is now allowed to sleep on the bed now and so she gives me "come to bed now" looks if I don't go to bed when she does.

jennzy · 03-26-2011, 06:34 AM

coco has a play pen i put her in. i dont feel comfortable with a crate.
i put her in there at 10pm while i watch tv for an hour and go to sleep. and wake up at 7am.

on weekends, i put her in between 10-11pm and she wakes up at 7am eats breakfast and goes back to sleep then wakes up when i wake up at 9am.

Mickey's not in a pen or a crate he's 15 yrs old hehe. he sleeps when he's sleepy and wakes up when my mom wakes up hehe

Callie goes to bed when I go to bed which changes sometimes but normally is around 1am, I am very much a night person. Sometimes if its after that Callie will cry a little because shes ready for bed and she will move quickly to do her last potty brake and wait at my door to be let in and gotten ready for bed.

SWHouston · 03-26-2011, 08:54 AM

Both of mine have the run of the house 24/7, so, I'm not sure that I can say that we're even on the same sleep/awake schedule !

I stay up late to watch TV, and sometimes both will stay downstairs with me, or, one or both will go upstairs and go to bed.
In the mornings (4.30 AM) My Male Sneakers is the very LAST to get up !
The next to last Potty break in the evening is at 8 PM, then another at 2 AM, so neither is "stressed" all that much. I have a Doggy Door which is open from 8 AM to 8 PM. So, I guess we really don't have a specific time to put them to bed, very elective, and, they sleep through the day as well.

If I don't put Mojo to bed by 10pm, he'll be passed out next to me in his "road kill" position. It's so cute I had to attach a picture! He actually sleeps in his own bed that's in his playpen, and he'll put himself to bed if I'm in the room w/ his play pen.

Cute! Kaji only sleeps like that in the morning when he's not ready to get up. It's his way of getting me to rub his belly while he stretches and goes back to sleep.

Kaji goes to bed at 9 pm. Doesn't matter where we are, it's mighty night at 9. When we still had a nice park next door, I would wake him up for one last potty break at 11pm, then back to sleep.

Molly lays down in her bed in the living room at about 9:00

Husband puts in her room about 11:00.

Molly's room has a linoleum floor. (never liked the floor until we got her) She sleeps in a play yard.

She stays quite all night.

We hear her moving around about 6:30-7:00 A.M.

We love her so much!!!
