Katie slept with us right from the start. We have never had any problems with Katie at night time. Not that I can think of any way. She didn't sleep with us for long though. Not enough room. She has never been locked in her crate at night. She has always just slept wherever she wanted to. Even when she was just a baby she pretty much slept all through the night. If she did wake up she would always come and lick my face to wake me up. She is such a good girl! The only time Katie's door is officially shut is when no one is home with her. I don't want to take the chance of her chewing up the house.

Tori, is a different story. She has never slept with us, as a matter of fact she seems frightened of the bedroom and acts like she is not suppose to be in there. She is just now starting to come in and only if Katie is in there with one of us. Even before when Katie would be in there with us, she would not pass the doorway instead she would sit there and whine. Another thing that makes me wonder what happened to her before Alden brought her home. Tori is always in her crate at night and the door is always shut. She definitely can't be trusted on her own...lol...I think she would chew the whole house down. Even though Katie doesn't have to she will go in her crate at night when Tori does. Both girls seem to love their crates and are often napping in them on their own.

I should point out that when Katie was small I was on sick leave and home with her all day and night. This could have made a difference.

Sorry I got a gabby on this one
