Sleeping Update

As per some advice from Brian's Aunt Peggy, I tried something quite unconventional to help in aiding Nora's sleeping patterns. I'm sure Auntie Tracy knows what the Comfort Zone is, but for those of you that don't, I'll give you a quick overview. The Comfort Zone is a device that emits pheromones into the air that are supposed to help dogs and cats relax and not display behaviors such as peeing/pooping on the carpet, barking excessively, or having separation anxiety.

Obviously, Nora isn't having these problems, but Aunt Peggy inadvertently found out that these pheromones also improved her sleeping habits. I thought, what the heck, I'll try it out on Nora. I'm all over anything that doesn't involve giving her any drugs AND may have the possibility of getting her to sleep through the night.

I knew it worked when I woke up at 6:00 AM ASTONISHED to not find my little girl sleeping on the floor next to me! I ran into her room to see her fast asleep in her bed. I actually put her down in her Love Sac, but somehow she moved from one to the other in the night. That means she was awake, but not awake enough to realize that she was not right next to me and come into my room.

I know...quite strange, but we'll see if it works again tonight. If so, then it will be deemed not a fluke. I'll keep you posted.
