So Maggie sleeps in my bed.. and i love it.
I used to keep her leashed to the bed because i didnt trust her walking around the room at night..and once or twice she had an accident by the door in the middle of the night.
Well we have had issues with her whining in the middle of the night... waking me up. i always assume she needs out..so i drag myself outa bed..take her out.
sometimes she will go..toher times she will not..and this makes me so MAD. (3 am.. a almsot two year old dog who woke you up to go out who wont do anything)
for one reason or another i took off one of the two leashes that were attached to the bed and was too lazy to put it back..and shes now sleeps without a leash.
I also had moved her food and water dish in there...putting water in both bowls (and she is now using one of my bowls for her food in the livingroom)
suddnly...our whining to get out problem has stopped.
she can jump off the bed and sleep on the floor..or drink as much water as she wants during hte night..and i rarely have to take her out.
SWEET.
except...she wants UP again..and can not jump onto my bed.
So i asked on a local group on facebook (rediculalsy cheap things in victoria) if anyone knew where to get affordable pet stairs.
someone said i coudl have theirs for FREE.
FREE is always good.
so i ipcked up the stairs.
the first night..i showed her how to use them three times.. she dose NOT like to use them and even growled at me the last time. .........she spent the entire night sleeping on my pillow and didnt get off the bed once..of course.
the last few nights...ive been patient..and showing her where the stairs are..and refusing to pick her up..making her use the stairs.
This dose not please her highness at all.
last night i ignored her whines... then i rolled over and showed her hte stairs...ignored her again...showed her again.. she eventaully came up the stairs... and was so mad about it.. she sat herself down on MY pillow and refused to look at me. (usually she snuggles as close as she can get) i rolled over and gave her a kiss..she turned away. LOL
shes such a stubborn little brat...but so am i..we WILL conquire these stairs.
but for now... our midnight problems have been solved. WATER..she gets thursty at night and likes her water.
