Katie and I camped in the backyard all night last night! She only yipped a couple of times. Could be because she had spent the entire evening barking at every possible imaginary thing for several hours. Maybe she wore herself out before we even went to bed. Once again she ran to the tent and was eager to get inside, where she plopped herself down in front of her mini window.
We both fell asleep almost immediately, and she only yipped once when the rusty red van with the squeaky tires came by to deliver the morning paper about 3:30 a.m., and again when we got a bit of rain around 5 a.m.
This morning at 7:30 she gently licked my face to tell me she needed to go out, just as she does every morning. I give her an A+ in camping!
Now she’s off to play with her new favorite toy.

I commend your stick-to-it-iveness in camping with a shelty. Looks like she’s finally getting the hang of it.

We tried again last night…she was more barky, but not bad. I gave up and came inside at 5:00 a.m., where we both fell back asleep in a normal bedroom. I think I’m getting tired of sleeping on a blow up mattress in un-airconditioned night air. Don’t know if we will try it again tonight or not.
