So, I wasn't really expecting the extra hour in bed this morning, but I also wasn't expecting having to get up twice during the night to change Willow's vet bed, for her to wake up fully an hour earlier than normal (so, two hours with the time difference) and to be an absolute monster raving loony this morning while everyone else is trying to sleep! Worst night yet. I ended up sleeping on the sofa so I could hear if she needed to go out, but neither of us got any sleep after that. Bleurgh.
Re: Argh! It's like having a human baby, awful when the clocks change. You wind up trying to keep them quiet so everyone else can get their sleep.
Re: Argh! I feel your pain hun! Bob was a little pickle last night too. I stayed up an extra hour which I thought might compensate for the clocks going back. Also we had friends round last night and their kids played with Bob all evening so I thought he would have been completely worn out... but no! He woke at 4am... took him out... back in crate.. and he basically barked until 7.30am. We went down a couple of times after he'd quietened to take him out for a wee, but then he'd start barking again after we put him back. We just laid there ignoring him. Our neighbours must hate us! Tough night! Big hugs to you! Lou x
Re: Argh! Thanks, yeah I'm sure she's fine. I think I overfed her a bit yesterday - lots of training - and she didn't get her dinner until later than normal. I tried to get her to have a poo before bed time, but it wasn't happening. She went to bed at midnight and woke me at 2am, having messed her crate. It wasn't runny, just a touch softer than it should be - which of course meant a change of vet bed. Same again ninety minutes later, so we ended up with one piece of vet bed drying in the airing cupboard, one in the washing machine and her day bed in her crate. I'm keeping her food on the light side today and she'll have her dinner earlier than usual to see if that makes a difference. After a really positive start, it feels like her night times are going backwards But ... I know it's just a phase and we'll get through it. We must remember, Lou, there is sleep at the end of the tunnel!
