<DIV>Ever since I clamped all the corners of her crate, Jordan has
been in the crate in the morning and when I come home. And she has
only whimpered a little bit. About 3 am this morning she started crying
and yelping. I yelled down the stairs for her to settle but she kept it up.
Fortunately I had closed the windows and turned on the AC so no cops came
banging on my door to see who was being slaughtered. As she kept it up, I began
to worry that maybe she was hurt or caught a nail or something so at
3:45 AM, guilt overcame me and I went downstairs and let her out of the
crate and then since she was up, put her outside with Loki who had
followed me down, Loki was back in about 2 minutes but Jordan did not
appear for another 5, just as I was grabbing a flashlight and getting
ready to go look for her. As she trotted in, all basset bouncy and wagging tail,
she suddenly accelerated past me and dashed up the stairs. Yup, there she was
cuddled up in the middle of my bed. Not having the energy to try and herd her
back into the crate, I let her spend the rest of the night snuggled
against me. I suspect that is what she wanted all along since previously she has
spent every night in her crate, making noise (or escaping) only when she heard
me or the boys stirring. Loki was rather put out as she snuggled into my stomach
(his spot) so he climbed up on the pillows so he could snuggle
against my head! I didn't get a lot of sleep after that.</DIV>
