Donna Hess’ Nora has graduated out of her nighttime crate & now sleeps in "the big bed" with mom & dad! About six weeks ago she started fussing, & that quickly graduated into screaming after being put to bed at night.  Now, mind you, she had been going to bed on her own for a very long time, all I did was close the door when I went to bed. I tried waiting her out, but that proved to be a waste of sleep, so after a few nights I let her out. She has been happily residing in the big bed ever since! Most impor-tantly, she is not sneaking about the house in the dark destroying stuff!
