Sweet Dreams are made of This

So we were having trouble getting Izzy to sleep, or at least be quiet all night. I would go out with her for hours, play with her before bed,  make sure there were treats and toys in her kennel. But it never failed. Around Midnight, 2, 3, 4 every hour or so she would wake us up. We bought a bark collar that stopped her from barking at neighbors, and it stopped her whining in the kennel, but then she learned to make equally obnoxious noises that the collar doesn't pick up on.

Well last week or so when we got Izzy back and before we got the bark collar she kept us up all night so we took the next day off from work. he slept in the living room, I slept in the bedroom and we closed all other doors. Nothing bad happened.

Yesterday was Voting day. So I got home super late and felt bad she didn't get to be outside for as long as usual. I couldn't bring myself to kennel her. So I puppy proofed the living room/dining room/kitchen to the best of my ability.  Threw some blankets on the couch and made sure my phone was charged (I planned to use it like a flashlight if I heard her chewing on stuff).  She was really hyper. she jumped around me for awhile and tried to drown me with licks. Everytime she did I would tell her to lay down because it was bed time, and I would close my eyes and stop interacting with her. She got the hint after a short time. she spent most of the night off and on my feet, and chewing on rawhides and toys. she nosed some stuff shes not supposed to chew but she didn't actually chew anything that I am aware of.

So tonight I am going to try to puppy proof even more, and we are going to see how she does with no one in the living room. she can sleep in the bed if she settles down but if she wont then I'll shut the door. Which will probably upset her for awhile, she doesn't like to be away from me, but we need sleep and she needs to be able to be in a different room then me. she can't follow me about 24/7. she is getting better. If she can prove for a good amount of time she is safe at night, I will leave her out during the day as well.
