Hi All
We picked up Rosie our new Whippet puppy on Saturday. She is very mischievous and loads of fun. She is 9 weeks old and is doing amazing with toilet training. Night time is a bit of a nightmare but we will get. Just thought you may like to see some pictures.

You are right there Rinkydinkydo. Last night we got a full nights sleep yippee!!!. We took her out in garden before we went to bed then we put her at the bottom of our bed and she slept all night. I have never done this before with dogs i have had in the past. But she is a little bit on the nervous side of any noises. So I think this may have to be our bed time routine for a while till her confidence build a up a little bit. Do you think we are doing the right thing here?

Be warned we started our puppy sleeping at the bottom of our bed to get a night's sleep,now 7 months on me and hubby sleep with a 9 month old 38kg puppy in bed with us

Do you think we are doing the right thing here?

Yes, at least for the first few nights. Having just been uprooted from everything she knows, the best way to help build her confidence is to not let her get scared, which she would if she had been left alone for the first time, in the dark, in a strange place.

Aww so sweet! Welcome Rosie.
All my 3 sleep on my bed they have since I brought them home, they need to be close and you'll probably get a better night's sleep lol

My Whippet, now a ten year old, sleeps with me, under the duvet. After all in the early days Whippets were used as 'hot water bottles' and I tend to think every one has learned the fact. lol.

If the pup is happy that's the main thing, you are making a unbreakable bond for life.

Thank you everyone makes me feel a whole lot better. She never does a wee in the house always goes to the door to be let out. Working on the pooing but she is only just 9 weeks so I am over the moon that she already know to go out. I will continue to let her sleep with us.
