I have no idea what is going on with Honey but it needs to stop or I am going to go insane. Sunday (7/27) she got a bath so I let her out potty before the bath at like 8pm and then didn't put her back out again as I didn't want her rolling in the dirt. So in the middle of the night (2am or so) she started crying to go potty. Ok I totally understood as generally she gets to go around 11pm and is good until morning--so I let her out--she went both #1 and #2--put her back in her crate (which is on the opposite side of the house)--no problems.
Monday night she cried again around 2am--let her out potty she went--I thought maybe her schedule was just off.
Tuesday my husband had a rock show so we didn't get home until 2am--we let the dogs out and Honey again cried around 4am--this time my husband got up and let her out--and she would not go potty.
Ever since then it has been every night--and it is no longer a potty cry--she will cry non stop for hours and nothing deters it---I have tried moving her crate out to the garage (as this tactic worked with our other dog)--but she just cries louder. I have tried a spritz of water to the face---45 minutes later right back to crying. We have tried to ignore but endless hours of crying are ridiculous. Last night it got so bad we ended up putting her in my car in the garage with the window open....she still cried but at least it was quiet enough to get some sleep!
I can't take it anymore! She isn't sick as she is eating, pooping, peeing and playing during the day fine. She is acting normal except for this crying bit. Maybe some anxiety meds (although I think I need them now too!) She has never done this before and we have had her for a year and a half.
Any advice? Please!
