Great info Beatriz!!!! I've been wondering about this myself. We haven't been exact about Nigel's "bedtime" and I was wondering if I needed to be more scheduled.

I have the same # of dogs in here, depending on the fosters. Glad to meet someone else who does too!!!! :-) Usually people gasp and faint when I tell them numbers!!

LOL - Yes, I am well acquainted with people's reactions only in my case it's usually an open-mouth, wide-eye stare... kind of like in between "I don't believe it!" and "The woman is nuts!". The more daring ones usually tell me right to my face that I am crazy and I always answer that my family agrees 100%! And then you have my beloved idiot husband who finds real pleasure in telling everybody and his mother we meet socially the number of animals we have just to see their reaction.

Oooh yeah. I think I have finally broken my hubby of doing that. (Bad hubby! Whap! LOLOL) These days I just go with, oh, we have a couple of dogs... one-or-two-or-15... lol!

I am amazed at how relaxed the dogs have been about Nigel. They just don't care that he's here. I was wondering if they would harrass him, but they barely glance at him. I guess they're so used to the poultry and not being allowed to chase them?

Hey, so, about sleep time-- is it best for them to sleep in their own cage or is there any reason, if they accept it, that they can't be brought into the bedroom to sleep?? I keep wondering if Nigel would feel more included if he had like a sleeping cage in the bedroom...
