I tried to sleep with the dog in a tent in an nearby campground (no pets at the rental house). It paced around the inside of my tent for an hour like a crazed jackal until I couldn't take it anymore. I got up, pulled her collapsible crate out of the car, assembled it, covered it with the tent fly, stuffed Maddie in it, and we slept nose-to-nose through the cage bars all night. <br /><br />I needn't tell you who got the better night's sleep.<br /><br />Sometime's it's a dog's life...and sometimes its the life of a dog.<br /><br />One paw back, three forward...it's easier when you're a quadruped, but keep at it.<br /><br />Woof!Jonnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179516101180622376.post-46185565389481244932010-10-17T15:41:45.026-07:002010-10-17T15:41:45.026-07:00I think the crate was the right move.

If she is like my dog who wakes me up throughout the night it may help you get more sleep as well.Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927983874624510031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179516101180622376.post-29652225984573093372010-10-16T09:14:34.589-07:002010-10-16T09:14:34.589-07:00I liked your analogy about putting a dog back in a...I liked your analogy about putting a dog back in a crate is like putting a child back in diapers.
