Bicycle Rider/Crate Training.

Aubrey has conquered bicycle riding and is she ever proud of herself. She came over last night to show me her new skill by riding all the way to our mailbox.



OK, so I have to confess, when we got Mick he slept with us from day 1. When we got Gage , he joined us sleeping on a pillow on our bed between Brad and I. When we got Saucie , yep, she joined the boys in our bed. Well, when IVY came along we put her into a crate and she did fine but due to lack of sleep I just couldn't make it through the multiple times having to get up when she cried to go outside. So this time, we were told and agreed -Belgians's don't sleep in your bed (well, maybe when I take a nap but not at night). In any case, we're doing great and she sleeps in a crate and some nights she makes it through the whole night. It doesn't help that Brad gets up at 3-4 in the morning and wakes them up on occassion.

Well, the other day I awoke from a nap and Brad was on the computer ordering 4 small crates for the Poms. He decided if his dog was in a crate then mine were in a crate. Hmmm.. it might lead to a better nights sleep , that is after they get used to it so tonight we will give it the first try becasue the crates arrived and are all put together so what do you think?

HAHA.. Thats right..NO DOGS IN THE BED!! Except in the hotel rooms.. Santana sleeps with me, but man is it hard to get him to stay off the bed when we get home... Back to the crate. Puppy in the crate teaches Beast who is boss! Remember..no infants in the bed either!!!
