Puppy woes!!!

I am so tired today. Loki, our 7 month old Siberian Husky, has taken to waking us up at 5am with his whining! He doens’t need to go out…he either just wants to be with us or is ready to move around. Its not like we sleep forever! My DH is up at 6-6:30 every morning. We have tried covering the crate, taking him out then giving him a chew toy…well, the list goes on. I think tonight we are going to put a baby gate on our bedroom door, and try leaving the crate door open. First I have to make sure there is nothing the little “counter surfer” can get. That, is another problem on which to work.
