Not going to sleep much tonight, new pup

We brought home a 12 week old French Bulldog today. Our German Shepherd Dog passed a couple of months ago. Our 3yo Bull Mastiff hasn’t been the same and we’ve wanted a Frenchy. Meet Frank:

Hello, Frank!

Adorable pup.

Steps to restful first night with new pup.

New pups tend to whine, cry and howl on the first few nights.

Forget all that crap about hot water bottles, blankets and ticking clocks...

EZ PZ Monkey Method™ of homing a new pup.

1. Slather your toes with peanut butter and bacon grease.

2. Apply pup.

3. Sleep well.

You can thank me in the morning...

He seems like a very contented little fella! We spent the first few nights with Moose taking turns sleeping on the couch. He quickly got used to the kennel in our bedroom and he'll crawl in there and curl up all in his own now when it's time for bed. Good luck...even if you're up a few times overnight, they're worth it!

Thanks for the sentiments guys…. I just woke up. He actually did pretty well last night. I’m scared I’m going to break him, we have never had a dog this small!

My experience with very young puppies is that, once they get past the initial few days of bedtime separation anxiety, settle into a routine, and get used to their crate/kennel, then the hard part is over.

From there, they typically only wake you once a night, needing to go potty. Then after several more weeks or a few months, once they grow and their bladder develops enough to hold it all night, you'll both be sleeping through the night uninterrupted.
