Thought I could be in bed earlier but what else is new? Coley has been yelping from midnight till 1:30am in his crate, which he hates his guts. We had to train him to stay there by himself or we can forget about going out. When we did this to Caitey she only whimpered for the first 2 or 3 nights (I did "nap" next to her crate till she fell asleep just to make her feel better). Just now I tried the same strategy with Coley, but whenever I thought he was fast asleep and tried to sneak out of the kitchen where his crate is, the boy would wake up on cue -- guess I have underestimated the ears of a shepherd :-(.
Right now I am sitting in the kitchen poking on my netbook, the boy won't yelp so long as he can see me.... poor mommy!
As for other amusing stories, well I got two rubber chewing toys today: a smaller one for Coley and a big one for Caitey, and of course each wanted the one that was not in his/her possession - Caitey even tried to grab the one out of Coley's mouth!
The good news is, Coley started to react to commands like "come" and "sit". The boy actually is pretty smart, he is catching on fast by just observing what Caitey does. He still has accidents from time to time though, like today he peed in the girls' study room again -- bad boy!
It is going to be a looooog night, you owe Mommy a lot Coley boy.
