Master Edit: I will update the post on night 2 instead of making a new one. Why not ya know? It's w(h)ine night.
Don't worry I'm laughing about it. My puppy has trained my husband that if she whines in her crate he should let her out and let her sleep on the couch. This was (obviously) unsustainable, and explains why crate training was backsliding. So now moms in charge and I'm waiting out her whining. So, here I am, sitting on my kitchen floor where she can't see me and drinking a beer. I'll outlast her. I will!
All jokes aside so far not bad, I just wanted to share a giggle with some.
Edit: It's been an hour and I'm out of beer. We are entering the "extinction burst" phase.
Edit II: She's quiet and currently shredding her blankets, she's either about to pee or bout to sleep.
Edit III: She's back at the whining. Oh, WAIT, SHE JUST FOUND HER SQUEAKY RACCOON. I'll TAKE SQUEAKING OVER WHINING.
Edit IV: she laid down to sleep and husband thought that was a prime time to take out trash. Pray for him.
Edit V: she’s sleeping now. Only an hour and a half of whining. I was prepared for two. I’ll likely be back here at 3am for the post potty whine. That’s normally when she gets her couch time.
Edit VI: she got two very boring potty breaks but then only fussed for a few minutes. Round two tonight. I’m expecting a whine night but shorter. Also puppy tax:
Night TWO BEGINS.
Settle in kids, it's time for night two. Bedtime is in five minutes, I've got wine chilling in the fridge. leggo.
Update 1: Deployed a peanut butter kong and poured myself a glass of wine. I've got some work I need to do tonight so trying to power through before the wining starts. Husband is hiding in the kitchen, in MY HIDING SPOT.
Update 2: We're now both hiding in the kitchen, sitting on the floor, the kong is consumed, the temper tantrum has started. Pray for us.
Update 3: 38 minutes of whining and she’s out.
