Keeping a puppy on schedule.

Keeping Gunner on schedule is hard because at this time in our lives we are trying to buy a new house, travel and do some commitment things we have had planned for a long time. Keeping him on a schedule was very hard and last night proved we have to stop the buses and get back to business.

Gunner has a schedule of his own. He gets up in the 630-715 hour range. Goes out potty and comes back in to start his day.  At 730-745 he eats his breakfast and then plays a little.  He will start the potty break cycle at about 830 or so.

After that he is a sleeping dog until about 1030 or so. He will go back outside and then back to sleep for him. This cycle continues through the day and guess what? He doesn't sleep at night.

At around 300 pm he gets fed again, I know I should stretch it out to 4 pm and I will start doing that today, but it's hard when the other animals are getting fed at 300 pm and he isn't.

We have to schedule in early evening play time and socialization with him because our up all night is not working for me. His bedtime is being readjusted to 11 pm and hopefully we will get back on track.

Let's hope the round mound gets back on track. Mommy needs to sleep more than 1 hour at night...
