Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hi , We have a 5-year old grandson and his siblings, 2-year old triplets (boy-boy-girl). When our grandson was staying with us while his mom was in the hospital waiting for the triplets, he freaked out at night, even with the night light. So we gave him a small flashlight (the kind that doesn't come apart) and taught him how to turn it on and off. That did the trick, no more sleep problems. Oh sure, we had to buy batteries when he'd forget to turn it off, but it was worth it. So far the triplets are good sleepers, they're just early risers! Can't help much with the dog--we used to have a Siberian Husky who would NOT stay in the house, but if we left him in the yard (which was fenced) he would dig under the fence and terrorize the neighbors. He was really very gentle, he just looked fierce. One night about 11 PM, we got a phone call from our Greek neighbors saying our dog was in their yard and wouldn't let their son in the house. I had to go and get him, and do you think he would come back under the fence? Oh no, Mr. S. had to lift him OVER the fence to me, and then I chained him to the clothes line pole. An hour later we heard howling, and he had gone back under the fence, and was at the end of his chain. Argh! We gave him to a friend, and he was a changed dog, never ever tried to escape 's yard. We now have a cat. Peace, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
