The Finale

The finale of the day was that Evie woke us up at 2am because she wanted to lay in between us in the bed. We tried to tell her to go back to the end of the bed but she didn't listen. When Erik tried to pick her up, she wouldn't budge. Finally, she moved. Then she got down and tried to make a nest in the pillows on the floor. Then she wanted to come back up. Apparently, she cannot jump on the bed in the dark so I have to get up and pick her up and throw her on the bed.

We were getting SO annoyed. Now clearly, this is our problem. We created this sneaky sleepy dog. We let her stay on the bed during the day, we let her sleep at the end of the bed, etc.

If this woman came to visit, she would tell us to set boundaries for Evie. We are starting with not letting her on the bed during the day. We've been down this road before. We cave. We are weak. But we need some sleep so we will be figuring this one out!
