Lots of Naps

Puppies need lots of naps. Initially, Geordi was allowed to sleep on the tiles in his safe area, but we want to focus a bit more on crate training, so now he gets a gentle "Go home" command when he's sleepily guided into his crate. He takes about 3 to 4 naps a day.

Usually he naps after the morning activities (walk/water/food/potty/play or training), in the early afternoon, late afternoon, and after dinner activities. We are grateful that he rests often, because we humans need food and playtime, too. More than 1 hour of Geordi dozing in his crate means bills get paid, dry cleaning gets picked up, emails are checked, etc. We also get a much-needed break from the hyper vigilance of watching for potty accidents!
