Well it was pretty much a success.....

I left Tilly sleeping on the sofa last night, closed the kitchen door and stayed to listen for 5 mins just in case. All was quiet :)

My OH woke me at 2am to say she was barking, I went down to find her super sleepy and not at the kitchen door. I think she had just heard a noise! I opened the back door, but she didn't want to go out, she went back and climbed on the sofa and went to sleep.

This time, I left the kitchen door open to see what would happen, I wondered if she would eventually come upstairs and try to get on the bed - nothing! Went down at 8am to find her still sound asleep on the sofa. It's definitely where she wants to be!

Works for me :)

We are all so different as are our pooches, it's all about finding what's best for us. Thanks so much for all your words of wisdom, I hope Saffi is being a good girl too,

I think we can be so preoccupied with hoping we are doing everything right and doing what we think we should be. I have learned that its best to go with the flow. Works best when you've got a personality packed poo (PPP). Glad Tilly is happier with a lovely comfy sofa!
 
And just to add as a mom you know your kids wont always agree with you, you can offer advice if its asked for, but you've done a good job if you've raised your kids to have minds of their own, to make their own decisions and to live their own lives independent of you, but lovely of you to think of how your mums would feel :D
 
yes .i find that as i lission to all the chit-chats here ,,every one is doing the right thing ,what they are told you should do and they forget all about the poor puppy.and the fact that she has a mind of her own and like to do what she want to do some times .and sleeping is on of them .let your puppy pik out where she wants to sleep.ginger has a great big soft bed that she sleeps in during the day.and she would sleep in it when she was locked in the kitchen .but as soon as she got the run of the house ,she picked my chair for her night time bed .and we never heard a peep out of her because that is what see wanted and she was happy ok ..do you think I'm right HUH
 
Our boy sleeps on our bed, or under it, or by the side of it! He takes himself off to bed early evening if I am away for the night and my husband has to move him over to my side so he can get into bed.

We have a big velux window in our room which opens out completely (and safely) so he also sleeps under this to get the breeze.
