I think I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep since Friday. The first couple nights Cosmo was okay, just cried for about 10 minutes then went to sleep, just whining when he needed to be let out. Since then it has been non-stop. Last night I finally cracked and brought him into bed with us. Well, apparently he really liked that as he held his business in for almost 5 hours sleeping snugly between me and my girlfriend.
Honestly, if he is going to be a good boy in my bed, I don't really mind it. I've had dogs in my bed growing up so it isn't anything new. Also, we both work during the day and crating at night and during the day (we have staggered schedules that allows us to let him out every couple hours) just breaks my heart sometimes. I'd rather him not be in a crate when we sleep and when we're at work.
On the other hand, if it's going to hinder his crate training, perhaps I should just be the bad guy and move his crate into the basement?
