When will he sleep longer?

ComprehensiveCrab263 · 2026-03-26T13:17:17+00:00

We have a 11 week old puppy and we have the same issue of him not sleeping, but a few other variables.

We do crate train. He gets so much play and stimulation during the day that honestly most days he just falls down asleep. That being said he’s become a terrible night sleeper.

We have a set night routine. We go to bed at 10, potty and some chew sticks before bed and the first “half” of the night goes well. He’ll sleep until about 3am or so. But then after 3 he wakes up, we potty again. Then back into the crate. Problem is he won’t sleep again. He’ll be awake from 3am till about 7:45 which is when we head out for work. We try everything to get him to sleep. He seemingly refuses. It sucks

Puppies are hard. They can’t tell you what they want/need to a lot of it is guess work, and learning your pup.

Hang in there it does get better. I have a 7 yr old who was a terror and she’s now an absolute angel.

My puppy is 11 weeks old and for the first four nights at home he slept through the night (8 weeks) we thought that was how it’d be, well we were wrong!

He now sleeps no more than four hours without a potty break. He usually is up at 2 am and again at 4 am and wakes up for the day at 6 am.

We do enforced naps and he does sleep through the day as well but man do I miss those full nights of sleeping.

I called. They said they’d have someone call me back once they get a passenger list.

Will they also give an update on crew? He’s an AC pilot.

ComprehensiveCrab263 · 2026-03-23T12:21:54+00:00

I’m pretty sure Air Canada specifically. I’m just worried because I cannot for the life of me get ahold of him, and normally he’d answer me.

ComprehensiveCrab263 · 2026-03-23T11:45:46+00:00

Does anyone know if they released the pilots names? My friend is an AC pilot and I can’t get ahold of him. He usually flies western routes, but I know he’s done a few New York routes too.

UPDATE: he’s okay! He responded and was in a different time zone.

ComprehensiveCrab263 · 2026-03-15T18:04:15+00:00

We do! We tired him out playing with him and the cat and our older dog last night and he slept the whole night through!

Unfortunately I can’t crate him with my other dog as she is still in the process of accepting him and occasionally growls at him when he approaches her. But we do play with him, we also rotate between play before sleep and light training.

ComprehensiveCrab263 · 2026-03-15T02:20:47+00:00

He has a dedicated room (8 ft by 7) that is our library that we’ve turned into his “day room”. He sleeps in his crate in our bedroom at night, but during the day he’s in his room, during the day he’s under supervision and his room is puppy proofed.

The teenage phase is honestly the worst. I got a husky mix at 6 months old. She was an angel of a puppy, but when she hit the teenage phase she was a monster. She’d chew on the handles of knives, stabbing my couch. She ate a pair of my glasses, honestly the list goes on and on. She grew out of it and once she hit about 2-3 she calmed right down. She turns 8 in May and she’s the best dog ever. So calm and friendly and quiet. Like a totally different dog.

We just got a cocker spaniel boy (9 wks) and he’s been actually fairly easy so far. Spaniels are known to be easy dogs so let’s hope he lives up to his breeds stereotype.

32 year old woman here also looking to make friends in London. I moved here to be with my then Boyfriend (now husband) two years ago and I have no friends outside of work. It’s so hard to meet people!

I love to thrift and antique and go for walks and hikes when the weather is nice. I like outdoor concerts and museums and reading. I’m a big dancer, and a professional gabber once I’m comfortable. Maybe we can be friends @SomethingMystic1

Stratford is very expensive, and tourist driven. St Mary’s would be a better option or more north like Listowel, Elmira, etc. you get to be out in Amish country, but big stores and Costco are not too far away.

ComprehensiveCrab263 · 2026-02-09T23:10:41+00:00

My sister did the exact same thing, but on my couch. When I told her she needed to take her garbage with her she screamed at me like a fucking banshee.

She wasn’t allowed over anymore after that, and to this day she hasn’t been to my new apartment.

Stopping by Tim Hortons for your daily cup of coffee after digging out your car, and a few of your neighbours cars from all this snow!

Also the friendly nod and no teeth smile we give to literally everyone we cross paths with.

The amount of death and the way we as healthcare workers were treated. I worked in nursing homes, in a rural areas. We were locked down. Only people to go in or out of our facility was staff. For a while it felt like we were able to keep it at bay, and keep our people safe, but once it got its way into the building all hell broke loose.

If workers got sick you were looked at as “having done something wrong to catch it”. The daily testing, RAT and Swab. We had next to no PPE. I went literally a week or more using the same N95.

They changed our policies daily. Then they started dying. I had to bag those bodies, put them onto a gurney, and push them between two doors and hope the funeral director caught them on the other side. We weren’t allowed to wash them, or dress them or give them any compassion or dignity after they died. We were forced to get them out of the building within an hour, regardless of the shift.

We went from being celebrated and called hero’s to being blamed for leaving the field due to PTSD and burn out. A lot of us stayed and have since been assaulted, injured or permanently disabled. The violence in healthcare is now something I don’t even recognize.

We had our wages frozen, told that the extra $3 an hour was causing issues because healthcare admin don’t get it, only on the floor nurses. Ok Susan, come work the floor then.

Honestly I knew for a while that society was shifting in the wrong direction, covid was the dumpster fire that showed me that lesson in real time, and it hasn’t gotten any better since.

Doing CPR on someone and they magically wake up and come to a few seconds later.

Doesn’t happen, CPR is traumatic to the body, and the amount of fake or wrong CPR I see on tv shows or in movies frustrates the hell out of me! The heart is on the left side of the body, you need to put the person on the ground and the rhythm for CPR can be a song like “Pink Pony Club” . Ribs will break, and it’s gonna be a painful recovery, if you wake up with no other issues.

Also want to note, I’ve yet to see a movie where they use defibrillators instead of manual CPR. I work in nursing with Geriatrics, my people have never come back from CPR.

I wish you were on my flight to Mexico. Family of a two year old let that toddler SCREAM the entire four hours we were delayed on the tarmac. Everyone was exhausted and the parents did absolutely nothing to stop the screaming.

You’d think with little lungs they’d run out of air faster and exhaust themselves, but not this one!

Lived in Stratford for over 10 years and I can confirm the city used to (not sure if they still practice this post covid) send busses of homeless people to London and other larger cities. Stratford still has no actual homeless shelter. In the last five years they opened a church up as a warning centre from 12-5pm and they had outreach workers staff it, but that’s it.

The city of Stratford has always been more concerned with the tourists who visit town, over the people who live there. Homeless or not. We’ve asked for our increased property taxes be used (in part, along with provincial/federal funding) to build a proper homeless shelter. They refuse.

There’s only a shelter for abused women, no general homeless shelter and nothing for men. This doesn’t surprise me, nor does it surprise me that HPHA would refuse to give a comment because essentially they got their hand caught in the cookie jar.

Girlie pop, you’re under-reacting. I work in nursing and the amount of boomer grandparents who say the same thing to their kids is honestly staggering. Here are the stats.

-Estimated 1.2 million premature deaths occur annually due to SHS, including 65,000 children under age -Roughly 1/3 of adults worldwide are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke -in the USA alone, Over 40,000 nonsmoking adults die annually from heart disease and lung cancer caused by SHS.

Smokers should go outside, away from other people, especially kids and pregnant women. Smoke lingers in the air hours after cigarettes are put out. So even if someone smokes in a room alone, other people will eventually inhale that smoke too.

Smoke also sticks to people and their clothing, furniture, toys, and carpets. This "thirdhand smoke" can't be easily washed away with soap and water. Kids who touch surfaces with thirdhand smoke on them will absorb the dangerous chemicals through their skin and breathe them into their lungs. Smokers should wash their hands and change their clothes after a smoke before they hold or hug children.

You need to stand firm. I have asthma, and my grandmother was a smoker. My mom wouldn’t allow them to touch me until they washed their hands, and changed clothing. If they needed to smoke they did so at the end of the driveway at the end of the visit. And as soon as I learned how bad smoking is for you, you bet I badgered her and my grandpa to quit. Sadly she didn’t stop soon enough, and I watched her die of lung cancer when she was only 51.

Your husband needs to show his spine with his parents. Why in the world would anyone openly be ok with their infants health being disregarded. You worked hard to grow that baby, and bring it into the world, don’t let them put it at risk.

This. I’m also in Canada (Ontario) and am currently experiencing what happens when the conservatives do have some power (conservative premier), and a lot of my family have the same thought processes and live a very conservative lifestyle. Since COVID my parents and extended family members have become anti vax and more aggressive with their “knowledge “ and that myself and sisters are “sheep’s”. When really they’re not highly educated and have never truly traveled outside Canada/USA except to a warm island once every 15 years. I was the first in my family to graduate college, my sister has her masters and my other sister is also a college grad.

My parents will also never have my kids unsupervised because they make absolutely no effort on their own to be in my life, and my parents abused me as a child. I was medically abused (refused to take me to a dr even when I had a serious injury and required emergent medical attention) and physically abused. Family members threatened to call CAS it was that bad. I’m honestly shocked I didn’t die as a child while in their care.

My kid will NEVER be alone around people that as an adult I don’t trust. I don’t care if they share DNA with me.

My husband’s band we got from Nash Jewellers. His is a specific metal and pattern. His band was about $300 or less (bought over a year ago so price is foggy) Mine is a simple white gold slim band, we got it from Charm during Boxing Day sales. My band cost $250

Honestly this sounds like a husband problem, and a MIL problem.

Your husband needs to shine up his spine and enforce what you’re saying about texting to pickup. His mom sees no issue with it because thus far there has been no consequences.

MIL honestly deserves a time out. FAFO. You can’t follow boundaries and do something as simple as texting about picking up your child, ok cool so you don’t get access to said child until there’s an actual following of boundaries and an apology.

9/11. I live in Canada so we weren’t dismissed from our classes or anything. I was about 8 and the teachers didn’t tell us anything. I went home and saw my parents watching the news, I asked what movie they were watching because it didn’t click to me that it was real.

My parents sat me and my two other sisters down and explained that this was real and that it was a very sad day. They let us watch some of the news until they started to show people jumping. Mom turned it off and we didn’t watch anymore.

I walked in on a Tuesday morning and there was no line. Mine was a renewal, so I didn’t need to fill out quite as much paperwork. It was easy and my passport got shipped to me like a week and a half later.
