They, of course, each have a doggie bed in the bedroom. To keep them in the bedroom, mama either closes the bedroom door or uses a baby gate if it's too warm to close the door. They've both learned to sleep to mama's schedule [unless someone is sick] and it's worked just fine. They're allowed to bring a stuffie or bone to bed, which Abby does, but she invariably drops it by her bed and ignores it for the rest of the night. Unless the other dogs also sleep in crates, we bet Todd has decided he's a big boy now and he wants to be treated like the other grown up dogs.Jed and Abby in MerryLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782709825274199133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-6789665020920011142012-11-10T21:20:38.097-05:002012-11-10T21:20:38.097-05:00Dear Todd, I told you it would work!!!

They were late here in CO so they were in the wee hours of the morning there!<br /><br />We recently went through a similar transition with Shyla as you have with Todd. It's worked out great, just as long as we wake up as early as she does. The dawn hours are when she wants to find mischief!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-12574276806261488592012-11-10T13:00:02.849-05:002012-11-10T13:00:02.849-05:00Have to catch up with you!

He never gets into trouble and actually curls up between us for the warmth. He is so light that it doesn't bother us at all. Hope you have a warm and wonderful weekend.

If necessary you (or Carl) could build a little platform for under Todd's crate (so he is the same height as your bed) and because he is so light (in comparison to G=a GR) lift him into his "sleeping crate" each night - then he can see you, you can see him and he can't wander or get up to things which means you both can sleep. You also have the option of putting a cover over his crate to make it his den if you want him in your bedroom. <br /><br />Alternatively try having Todd sleep at night with your GRs - though if you saw my last post Riley hasn't slept well since we got Enzo as he moved from the floor in our bedroom to the same room as Enzo. The only exception is when my partner is away for work and the two boys get special privileges of sleeping on the bedroom floor. <br /><br />Have a great weekend,<br />from<br />Riley's mumThe Life of Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042517508689233894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-10874322126902416332012-11-09T02:51:12.127-05:002012-11-09T02:51:12.127-05:00Awwww, looks like Todd knows how to sleep, bless. ...Awwww, looks like Todd knows how to sleep, bless.
