    Well, after our early adventures, last night was the first night of Luna being crated overnight. She was in the bedroom with me, because that's downstairs and where the patio doors are to the garden. She was a little star. I set my alarm for every three hours, but it never went off, because I woke whenever Luna stirred. She's one of those puppies that groans as she wakes and stretches etc, and each time it woke me up. Every time, we went outside and she toileted, and then went back in her crate again with no comment.
    It was as perfect a first night of being crated as I could ask for. I even had a sneeky "snooze" when my alarm went off! :D

    Brilliant! Sounds like she's really getting the hang of it.....I bet the atmosphere is a lot more relaxed now you are happier staying where you are and that's got to be helpful.
    Glad you are getting a bit more sleep too x

    Yes, although Shadow is a bit edgy at the moment. He'll be fine once he's settled in a bit more, I just have to take it slowly. All three of them were at the vets this morning - Luna for her vaccination and the other two just to register and have a check-up. We'll go to the beach later on so they can blow off some steam :)
