She Slept Through The Night

Our 4 month old puppy Daisy usually sleeps in her crate in my brother's room. His room is the farthest away from the living room and is the quietest. My brother usually has to let Daisy out at least once and sometimes twice during the night to go potty because she will whine when she has to go. She always goes right back to sleep afterward. I've tried to talk my brother into putting her crate in my room so he doesn't have to get up in the middle of the night since he works. He says he is okay but I really think this is his way of contributing to her care as she is with me all the time and I'm the one who takes care of her during the day. Since my brother is out of town on business, I had to move her crate in my bedroom. I was fully prepared to have to get up several times to let her out but was surprised that for the last two nights, she slept right through the night. This is the first time since we have had her. I hope this continues but with puppies you just never know.

Perhaps she just didn't want to disturb your sleep. I suppose it's the same with all young ones, whether on two legs or four, you are waiting for them to grow up and need you less. But the needy times can also be the best. Good puppy!

@Rollo1 That is so true. She has been sleeping through the night now but does wake up early in the morning. That is okay with me because I would expect her to wait until I am ready to get up.

That's good news, let's hope it continues when your brother returns.

I am sure it will continue when your brother returns and he will again be able to have a whole nights sleep.

@jaboUK So far it has continued. I think she has turned a corner in her development.

@Marcyaz She is still sleeping through the night, waking up around 4-5am. I am usually up somewhere around that time anyway.

I thought maybe they have to be taken out only 3 or times a day. Well it seems like to have a baby. I was thinking to get either a dog or a girl friend... what do you think I should choose ?

Maybe she feels better being closer to you because you're the one who is always with her and of course she wants to be close to your other pup as well. It's a dog thing

Your puppy sounds so cute. I have not had a puppy since I was a kid. We did have a dog for ten years that was a stray and we fixed him after no one claimed him and kept him.

When we first got her, she didn't like her crate that much and cried for a few nights. But she has quickly adapted and loves her crate now.

Her sleeping through the night has continued since my brother came home. I think it is because she is getting older and can hold it longer now.

My puppy now sleeps through the night all the time so yours should be doing this also as when they age they can hold it a lot longer.

@simone10 that is what I was going to wait for also but instead I talked to my vet and mine was spayed at 5 months with no problems.

We are both so happy that she has reached this milestone. I can't wait for her to settle down some but that may not happen until she is spayed. We can't have her spayed until she is 6 months old.

I have a cat who sleeps with me and she wakes me up at 5.0 a.m. without fail. If I don't she scratches the carpet. Sometimes I do not call her in at night and then I sleep without being disturbed, but I worry about her if she is out all night. Stupid of me really because she is a cat and they are quite nocturnal.
