Does your bully turn into a pumpkin too?

[Chunksmama]

Around 10pm every night, it's like Cinderella. He goes from lovebug to grumpy gus! If we are sitting on the couch, he will lay down and fall asleep. If not he growls and barks until I put him in his crate to sleep. I can't figure out why he doesn't just go into his crate on his own!

Does this happen to anyone else?!

Sorta Jozi just goes and hides. Lately
she has been going and getting in her
crate on her own.

No, not really. Gertie and Ida get wild til I finally put them to bed just out of needing some peace and calm.

Mr.Beefy does that too....almopst everynight he will growl and bark and chewbacca like crazy!!! i finally have to tell him to go his big butt to sleep or sit on the floor and give him a wrinkle rub. I think its an older rotten bully thing

 

[Chunksmama]

Hmmm. So crazy because usually I'm winding down about that time and he gets SO fresh sometimes that it makes me crazy! Last night we was growling at me so I sat on the couch thinking he'd doze off and instead he pawed at me (I think he doesn't like the laptop for some reason). Tried throwing the ball, taking him out, but nothing! Funny that they really are like toddlers that need to be put to bed!

Guinness will run around like an idiot until about 9 them boom done, then my gf will bring him on the couch and he is out till I put him in his crate @ 11ish. He will never go to his crate on his own but when I put him his is crate he isn't fighting me anymore which is good

HRH has a schedule to keep. She is quite used to going to bed with dad about 7:00 at night. ( he insists he's just going in to watch tv, he won't admit it's his through his eyelids ) if he doesn't go to bed when she expects him to she has been known to just go on her own. If she doesn't just go you can tell even though she stays here that she's just waiting, and not very patiently either.

The crate thing is hard isn't it? Chunk loves his crate but he still gives me a hard time when he has to go in it during the day, I think it's because he knows we are leaving. He goes in there all the time by himself ... except at bedtime! He feels the need to yell at me and paw at me! Funny dogs. BTW Guinness is ADORABLE!

Vegas is on a schedule, ours! through the week we are in bed before 10 and all we have to say is "night-night" and he goes straight to his crate, on the weekends and we stay up a little later he goes by himself to his crate around 10 and passes out.

I wish Chunk would do that! He's on our schedule too ... but the going to bed thing is the only part he gives me a hard time about. Typical 2 year old! :D

Lucy will not go to her crate on her own at bedtime. Infact its the only time she wont climb the stairs herself ,but sits there pityfully staring at daddy till he carries her up, puts her in her crate n gives her a big kiss nite nite

Mack and Ruggles sleep on our laps on recliners until bedtime which is 9:30 to 10:00. They get in their own crate, get a treat (kibble), then snuggle together in one crate for the night. They have a pet door so they can take themselves potty anytime!

Silva knows our rountine. She will sleep where ever we are!
