Well... Tonight is the first day of the year when it will reach down in the teens sometime in the night. Typically we let our puppy stay outside through the night, with his think fur and all he was made for this weather! However, we decided 14 degrees was just too cold for him... So tonight's the first night in months he will be sleeping inside with us, an adventure for sure!
We put a gate up in our bathroom (tho he can knock it down in one jump he doesn't even try, one of the few things embedded in him), and then turned off all the lights so he knew it was time for bed. Well, Josh and I didn't move for about 20 min straight... We knew if the puppy saw us move he'd want to come join in too, why should he be trapped!? We put up with the whining, ignoring it as best we could while not tossing and turning in the bed, hardly moving at all.... It is now almost 2 hours later and Josh is fast asleep and has been for awhile and amazingly enough, Stryder is too!! Mission accomplished (so far) but with all the worry of making sure I didn't move and listening to the puppy whine for so long, now I can't go to sleep! At least 2 out of 3 getting sleep isn't bad... Maybe tomorrow will be better!
