Dogs and crate-training


Well, in spite of our fears about Tristan’s new-found ability to get out of his crib, things have worked out better than expected. He is now regularly sleeping in his “big boy” bed. On the topic of sleep, we’re getting very little restful sleep these days because we are trying to get our dog, Sarah, used to sleeping in her crate in the family room during the night, rather than sleeping in Keegan’s bedroom like she used to do. She hates her crate and barks and whines all night long. It is getting very old, listening to that racket throughout the night. Fortunately, both Keegan and Tristan are sound sleepers and aren’t disturbed by the noise. We made this switch because Sarah tore up the carpet in Keegan’s room one day, and we decided that that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. We bought a really nice, comfortable bed for her that fits in the crate, so I don’t know what she has to complain about. Sigh. The following scripture was highlighted in a daily devotional that I received via email this a.m.: If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. (Philippians 2:1-2)
