Last night I got three hours of sleep. Around 3ish, Dixie started whining and barking at me from her crate. I tried moving the night light around the room, I checked around her crate and pads for her prizes, and I even tried sleeping with my fingers through her crate bars. However, she kept crying and barking. I was afraid that any moment one of my neighbors would start pounding on my door.

So today, I am trying a little experiment with sleep cycling. We played at 7PM for…

So this is what I have learned today:

1. Corgis have tons of energy, I put her in her crate for bed at 9PM. She would whine, let out a huff, and constantly turn and look at me while I watched TV.

I brought Dixie home today.

She is amazingly quiet for a puppy. However, when you get her excited with play it takes her a bit of time to calm down.

When I got back home she was snoozing away in her crate.

Hopefully she will still sleep soundly throughout tonight since she has been sawing wood for the past two…
