Night, too?

No, although I usually get up at least once during the night
and if someone gets up with me I'll put them out for a few
minutes.

I noticed your mentioned the crates are in your bedroom (mine too). Do you
crate and close up the pack at night?

No, not at all. The crates stay open. One thing that the
different dogs have responded to differently is that Jack
likes to crate-sample, often falling asleep in other dogs'
crates. Eclipse doesn't like it, most of the other dogs
don't care, but it's got Saber, who's blind, nervous about
entering his own crate. I assume it's because he can't see
whether or not there's another dog in there already.

More annoying to me, perhaps, is that Jack likes to play
nose hockey with Emmett's dish in Emmett's crate. Very
noisy, so I now pick up everybody's dishes before bed.

My peeing issues seem to be more anxiety centered. Any change in the
normal - like the arrival of Phelps the electrican to deal with the pool
heater - and my locking up the mob in the house. Bodie had a fit, marched
downstairs cocked, aimed, fired onto the dehumidifier. Then nailed a
comfortor upstairs.

No, that's nothing like what was going on here. Image
has marked spots in the house as a toilet and the other dogs
were like "Look - a toilet!"
