rise too early

Is it normal for eight week old puppies to get up at 4:30 or 5:00 am. Oliver and Harry have been with us 5 days and they are crated but walk up so early starving and thirsty????

Yes, puppies are like babies they have to eat, drink and go potty often. They also have sleep patterns similar to babies.

Our forum has a lot of great advise regarding puppies, so look through the forum threads. I think most of your questions will be answered and give you a hint of what to expect.

Good lucjk with your pups.
LOL...Welcome to puppyland...I am sure it is twice as bad with two :wink: ~~~

Somewhere, there are posts...mainly from ME!!! Heart was an early riser....I mean EARLY!!!! I would have LOVED for her to wake me up at 4:30. Her regular wake up time was usually 3:00-4:00.....

It will get better... :crossed: :plead:
Normal? You ask NORMAL! As time goes by you will realize there is almost NOTHING "normal" about an OES! They are a breed unto themselves. Our Bailee was waking us throughout the night for the first couple of months, but, that is actually a good thing. He knew when he had to go outside and let us know. Now, 9 months old, he usually awakes about 7 in the A.M., not in a hurry to go out, but certainly HUNGRY! Welcome to the Real World of the OES.
Patience is a big part of owning an OES. All puppies are trying, but this breed wants to remain "puppies" for longer than many. If you don't have patience or a very good sense of humor.......it will be a difficult year...or so.

that was some very good advice! We are at a year now with Chiquita and I really wish I could be more relaxed and think more of her stunts are funny 8)
