>(maybe I should put my mattress on top of the two crates ??)<
Now that conjures up a very funny picture, the dogs would probably think it very cool!!! We have Toby - Pyr and Hannah - Golden, they both sleep in our bedroom, she in her crate and Toby in the walk in closet, or en suite or beside the bed, pretty much where he wants, he changes around during the night, Hannah is very happy in her crate, she's been in their since a puppy. So maybe you could do something similar Amy when you get your second dog, one in and one out..then again none of this is cast in stone and can be changed at any time!!

How did you teach Bridger to sleep where ever he does? When I first got Charlie, I tried to have him sleep in a crate in the kitchen. He cried, I melted, I bought a second crate for upstairs in the bedroom. When he grew and need a bigger crate for upstairs (I bought the biggest one to start downstairs and used the movable panel, but got a smaller one for upstairs.) I tried to get him to sleep on the floor on a dog bed. After a couple of very restless nights of his trying to climb into bed with me, I bought the larger crate. When it is about 9 pm Charlie pushes me to go upstairs and puts himself in the crate. I would love to get rid of the crate upstairs especially because I am planning to get a second dog and the two dog crates are almost as big as my bedroom (maybe I should put my mattress on top of the two crates ??) I alternate between thinking there must be a better way and it's not broken don't change it.

Subject: [pyrnet] The Paw
I am awakened to "the Paw" every morning. When he gets up, Bridger comes into our bedroom and to my side of the bed. He puts his face very close to mine and stares for a few seconds to see if I'm going to spring out of bed to let him out. If he doesn't get the reaction he's hoping for, I am subjected to repeated "pats" and "jabs" with the paw. He uses the same strategy to get my attention at mealtime and when it's time for a walk. I think all Pyrs are born with this communication technique - my previous Pyr was very good at it too :>)
