Wardy. Elsa always slept in the kitchen in her bed but would wake me up to three times each night (she would scratch at the kitchen door, had to put piece of plywood over bottom half to stop damage) She would go in the garden, have a wee then go back to sleep for another couple of hours. Anyhow when she was ill earlier this year I let her come on my bed (first time a dog has been allowed on my bed in fifty years ::)) now she sleeps on my bed every night, and nine times out of ten I get a good nights sleep. So she has won but I don't care, getting too old to keep getting up in the night!!!!!. Don't we still love them ;D Lorna.
