Wendell is still crying at night, although the volume is quieter. He had a little chicken with his breakfast, this morning and wolfed it down. He is now showing true terrier traits; ragging toys, digging in the corner of the sofa etc. The cats were not impressed that Wendell got a share of the chicken and there was a bit of hissing going on. He went for a couple of laps around the kitchen table and is now fast asleep. He loves sleeping on Terry’s chair and is not underfoot there. His basket is more of a home for his toys, during the day. The sun is shining brightly today. I would go for stroll on the beach but I don’t want to leave the little one on his own for too long. That’s all for now, Pen.
Have you got him in a cage at night? If so, cover the back & sides and a little of the front. That gives him a cosy den feeling.
ReplyDeleteIf he has the run of a whole room with no one in it, he'll be feeling loney. I'd take the cage (if you are using one), up to your bedroom. Put some toys and something he can chew in.
Also, make sure you don't over excite him before bedtime. That gets his adrenalin up and he won't settle for ages after a good excitable game.
Jane, thank you. That is really good advice. I have been trying to tire him out in the evening. I can see the sense of what you say. Keep him calm and cosy. I shall see if it makes a difference.
