for the last week or so we have been woken up between 3 and 4 every nite from wombat jumping onto the bed. we got to the point where the night before last we made bets on what time she would come in. zac said 3:30, i said 4am. i vaguely remember zac saying something like "i was closer, its 1:30." i woke up a while later and the dog was under the covers. i asked zac about it in the morning and why he didn't put her back on her bed if he woke up to her jumping on the bed. he said she was cold (which explains why she was under the covers when i woke up later). we've decided to give in and last nite we put her bed in our room from the start-- it still didn't work though!!! 4 am i hear her out in the lounge room shaking (her collar jingles). not sure what she was doing out there (maybe she snuck out to sleep on the couch) but a minute later she came in the room, quietly jumped onto my side of the bed and curled up next to me. i didn't want to let her get away with it. i tried several times to get her off but she wouldn't move. finally i got zac to turn on the light and give her a nudge from behind while i coaxed her onto her bed. she reluctantly went. i woke up this morning and discovered her in the bed between us, fast asleep-- don't remember her getting back up at all. wonder what time that happened....

we gave in
for the last week or so we have been woken up between 3 and 4 every nite from wombat jumping onto the bed. we got to the point where the night before last we made bets on what time she would come in. zac said 3:30, i said 4am. i vaguely remember zac saying something like "i was closer, its 1:30." i woke up a while later and the dog was under the covers. i asked zac about it in the morning and why he didn't put her back on her bed if he woke up to her jumping on the bed. he said she was cold (which explains why she was under the covers when i woke up later). we've decided to give in and last nite we put her bed in our room from the start-- it still didn't work though!!! 4 am i hear her out in the lounge room shaking (her collar jingles). not sure what she was doing out there (maybe she snuck out to sleep on the couch) but a minute later she came in the room, quietly jumped onto my side of the bed and curled up next to me. i didn't want to let her get away with it. i tried several times to get her off but she wouldn't move. finally i got zac to turn on the light and give her a nudge from behind while i coaxed her onto her bed. she reluctantly went. i woke up this morning and discovered her in the bed between us, fast asleep-- don't remember her getting back up at all. wonder what time that happened....
So do you reckon she got under the covers at the bottom of the bed and then crawled commando style (think muddy men crawling under an assault course net) up the bed in the wee hours?
ReplyDeleteThis is the story of my life! But we never really tried to get the dogs to not sleep with us so we asked for it from the beginning. Sharing a bed with puppies is one thing, but now they've grown into two 70 lbs monsters. Good luck with your dog, who by the way is SUPERCUTE!!!
