Aww LD, she's absolutely adorable.

Shropshiregirl, I think I have the answer to you problem!

You should build a cage around your bed & lock the door when you are ready to sleep. That will stop your doggies getting on the bed so they will have to sleep in their own.

Just make sure you keep the key safe inside the cage though... or your little sweeties may run off with it and take revenge!

That reminds me when we had 6 x 6 month old foster puppies plus our own 3 older terriers and my husband came home to find me and the terriers sat in the puppy pen with the pups running amok. I'd had it and it seemed the best option for a few quiet minutes at the time.

Thank you shrops. The trouble is, once she gets in a spot, wild horses cannot move her.

Re: Bet You Can't Solve This Problem!

Maddy, please accept my sincere apology, I didn't spot your post until today!!

Must admit, Ollie does play up a bit when we go out. We leave the light on if its dark, also the television or radio in the kitchen and leave some little treats in their baskets. but he still whines as I close the door. Flynn is absolutely fine.
They have the run of the house when we go out, apart from the living room (if either tried to jump on the bay window ledge to look out of the window, they could be in danger of falling down between the window ledge and television unit, and would have no way of jumping out, so don't take any chances and keep them out.
But you are certainly correct, Ollie especially, could just as well be attached to my leg he just won't let me go anywhere without him following, and of course, once he is on the move, his brother automatically follows. Maybe its because since we brought them home, they have spent 24 hours of the day with me, even when HWMO was still working.

Oh well, roll on the Summer when they will be welcome to the duvet !!
