(i think we lucked out) and we had the crate in the bedroom. before 10 wks she was holding it all night long. i'm sure every dog is different. now she doesn't make noise at all and i sleep in peace!

I love puppies, my current pup isn't even 8 months old yet and I'm already planning my next one <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Send me your puppy and I will raise him... no guarantee's you'll see him back though <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I did the middle of the night duties, this too will pass. You just need to retire earlier and get used to it. Don't blink, it zooms by too quick.

Having my pup reminds me of that, something long forgotten <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Difference between baby dogs and baby people, baby people can't walk yet - thank God! - and get into refrigerators, bathrooms, closets (in other words, every time you open a door!). Soon you'll be able to tell the difference in the whining, between the potty whine and the wanting attention whine. My 14 wk pup had a case of diarrhea and let me know when he needed out, which I appreciated very much <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> So I'd open the crate, ask if he wanted potty outside, he'd run to the back door.

The puppies had never been alone before and I believe the ticking was comforting. Just like some brand new babies like to hear water running, it sounds like home. Leaving music on low volume helped too.
