I tried my new nighttime prescription last night. I waited to get tired, and when I did feel like I could lay down without hurting enough to keep me awake.. the dog began whining and barking. It was unusual.
Normally Aggie and I maintain an evening routine where everyone else goes to bed and we lay on the couch and watch TV, blog, or play Scrabble on the Ipod. She is my buddy, laying next to me, relaxing, and passing gas, haha.
So last night was normal. Everyone went to bed, I stayed up with the dog waiting on the pills to hit me. When it was time to put her in her crate she went willingly.
I'm not sure what happened from that point. I was in bed 20 minuted fighting off sleep because she kept yelping. Finally I got up, put her harness on her and let her out on the chain in the front yard. She came back asking to get in, and I went to bed again. Didn't help the situation.
She continued to whimper and whine/bark for another 20 minutes. By that time it was WAY past the time where I could take the secondary sleep prescription, so I did my best to go to sleep when she finally stopped.
I cannot wait until we get that fence. I am too afraid to take her out on my own right now, and she just doesn't get wore out from chasing her squeak toy in the house.
