Well, the Puppy has mellowed out now and is getting used to Jessica and I beling the Alpha Male and Female. Last night she slept through most of it without issue. At 2:00 AM I had to get up (we set an alarm) and take her out to go potty, which she didn’t do, but I let her try at least, then I went back to bed. Not until the morning at six did I have to get up again. It was like sleep, except that it had one interruption. I don’t do well with interrupted sleep and every time we have a baby I have taken a week to get used to it. After about that long I get used to disrupted sleep and my body learns to fall back to sleep rapidly.
It is nice to sleep without whimpering from the puppy in the background, though. It makes it a more restful sleep and I don’t feel like some nasty person who is ignoring a baby dog. Which in essence the whimpering is output for that sole purpose: “Whimper, yip, yip, whimper! [You are ignoring me, but I can yip longer than you can lay in bed trying to fall asleep]!” It is like Bill Cosby talking about the children asking over and over because they know they’ll live longer than you 🙂
