FINALLY getting good night's sleep and all it took was....
 

Well after deciding to place the doggies in their own crates to sleep at night we noticed that Bentley took it extra extra hard on himself. He panted literally all night long. We would start him in our room and finally give up and move him to another room. I knew he wasn't sleeping well, we weren't sleeping well. We kept at it and eventually he'd pant awhile, then lay down and get quiet and then wake up anytime we stirred and pant non stop some more. I thought it would get better and night after night it didn't and i wondered if he'd ever totally adjust to this routine.

Then....

One night we put Sadie to bed in her crate (she always went right to sleep) and Bentley hopped right in after her. I said do you want to sleep with sister tonight? He looked at me and smiled. I let it be that night and GUESS WHAT???!!! He slept through the entire night and has ever since I let them sleep together. Guess he figured he couldn't sleep with us he wanted someone to cuddle with. He's a happy boy now and i couldn't be more comfy and thrilled to have my bed back and my covers not hogged and my hubbie closer to me to snuggle:p

the pups still get to spend some weekend mornings in our bed during the mornings when we get up and then decide to sleep in a bit more.:D

Wahoo, so happy you found what works for you and Bentley.

That's so sweet that he wanted to sleep with his sis. So glad you're sleeping better and everyone is happy.:)

Aww sounds like a win win solution.

these little furbabies are so smart :) they know how to get their way lol

How precious!

Yay for a good night's sleep! My babies do this, too. I'm such a crazy light sleeper that I just can't sleep with them, so now I let them sleep together and they are so content!

Awwww glad his sissy makes him feel better so he can get some sleep and you too.

Things usually have a way of working themselves out, don't they?!! :) So glad that everyone's happy now! Sally + Harry x

What a great solution!
