It may help. I gave up on Chester sleeping in the crate and just brought him to bed with me the second night. LOL Best thing I ever did. I got a good nights sleep and a good sleeping buddy. ;)Quote:

Did you try the heating pad thing I suggested? That usually helps to quiet them down, because they're used to the heat from their mother and siblings.
OMG - she's beautiful!! I love dachshund puppies - they are so sweet! Great picture of you. Both of you are beautiful.
Mine both cried in the kennel - I'm like Micki - brought them to bed and that's where they sleep today. Watch out though - for small dogs they are bed HOGS! Never knew such a small animal could stretch out so big.
She is absolutley ADORABLE :D :D :D Enjoy her :D and enjoy the PUPPY BREATH:D Everyone LOVES Puppy Breath:D

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS Jennifer on bringing your new little baby home! She is just TOO cute!! And I have forgotten how very little they are.
:D I too just brought my tiny babies to bed with me and snuggled. After when they got bigger it really wasn't a major problem to switch over to the crate. I actually beleive mine enjoyed their own space when they got bigger. I am so happy for you. Enjoy your little baby and please send LOTS of pictures often. She is just A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!!! :D :D :D
Cute Christmas pic, Linda. :D
My sis just informed me that she had an accident on the pillow :o And she is now crying non stop in her crate outside. I will figure out something about the sleeping issue. :)
Ok, I better go and check out what's going on outside. :D
Oh Micki, I will try the heat pad tonite. I will also try to see if I can arrange the crate so it feels more like my bed for her. haha...
I'll bet she could fit snuggly in any of those shoes! :D ;) Gigi is precious beyond words..so teeny and wrinkly..How adorable!...
Brings back memories when I first got Cody. He whimpered in one hour increments too! Just when I thought he settled down and I was falling back to sleep, he'd start again! My mom and brother apparently are heavy sleepers, but I remember very vividly, my dad knocking on my bedroom door.... :rolleyes:
The people I got him from gave me a piece of blanket from his whelping pen so it had all the odors (and not too good I may add) . I also used a small manual alarm clock next to his crate so it tick-tocked. By the 3rd night, he was much better. I think Gigi is just scared. Cody didn't eat much either, but I wouldn't worry. When she's hungry, she'll eat fine. You're doing great and so is Gigi! The photos were wonderful!!!
I can see the pictures now! She's gorgeous :) I love her colouring; it'll be interesting to see her change over time into her final shade of red :)
She will settle. You will soon learn the difference between cries of distress and cries for 'I just want all of your attention.' Trust me ;) You are going to have yourself the most wonderful companion when she realises what a great mummy she has :)
We took ours to the beach for the first time today. Fun! ... until the waves rolled in. A one-inch surf is enough to soak their bellies!
Thanks for all the tips and advice. I really need them. :) I will try tonite. Wish I were a heavy sleeper. haha... Not only can she cries, she screams. That was fun. :rolleyes:
But once again, she is now sleeping on my lap wrapped in a big towel...so she is not shaking any more.
Nicole, glad to hear your babies have fun at the beach. Gigi got all the attention today when I bring her to my work. heehee... And she got her new sweater, too bad it's too big, so she can somehow take it off herself.:rolleyes:
Can't wait to understand her better.
