Cooper has a bed time routine. When we start getting ready for bed we bring him upstairs and let him play on the bed. He gets so excited, playing with whatever toy we bring with, or a pair of crocheted slippers. Chomping on the comforter (still a puppy--we're working on this one). Then when he sees that we're pretty settled in bed, me with a book, hubby with the news he starts to settle down. In a few minutes he's dozing too.
Right before lights out hubby takes him back to his crate. I like him to stay in his crate at night for his own safety. One night he got busy for a minute before he put him in and turned around and saw that he had walked in and gotten himself all settled. He just knows when he's there for the night--and that's fine with him. He "works" hard all day.
