| Welcome! You rock him to sleep? That's a very sweet vision. I bet your Jack is adorable! Be sure to upload some pictures of your little guy. To help with your question, I would not think he would need to be rocked to sleep. When all of my yorkies were at 13 weeks, they would just DROP asleep anywhere after playing...the food bowl, the middle of the floor, upside down, butt hanging off the couch...literally anywhere. Perhaps you could increase his play time right before bedtime and then he would learn to go to sleep on his own. Then you could have your mommy and Jack holding times at other moments during the evening. Hope that helps!!

| hmmmm Sounds like he loves his mommy!!! How long have you had him? Maybe being next to you comforts him more than being around the other dogs? As far as keeping him up? I am not too sure what you mean? We let our 16 week old girl ( and her big brother when he was little) sleep whenever they wanted to. They would nap, eat, drink and play at their lesiure. dunno if I helped you any, but, Welcome to YT!

| Welcome to YT. I'm sure he'd fall asleep without the rocking, but if you enjoy it I'd continue, because I'm sure it's helping him bond with you.

| Am I spolling Him Well, You are so sweet to e-mail me back. Jack is asleep in the living room with my husband. (da,) I had heard that you were suppose to get him a crate and put him in there at nap time-night-time. (?) He sleeps in the crate at night. so I will follow your directions, I am going to up load his picture. In fact he is my wall paper on my computer. I will check in later Thanks Cheryl |

| Eventually, he will fall right in with the sleep schedule of the others. Mine always have and usually the first night. I "tuck" mine in about 9:30 p.m. by this I mean I turn off their cartoons and the light and my computer. They know it's time to go to sleep and usually, sleep all night. Sometimes they all go to sleep before I even turn things off. |
