Y'know, last night (around 2 am), he started up with the crying and howling, and I very nearly went out to the living room and slept on the floor. I didn't, but I considered it.
I've got to say that Darwin DOES know that outside IS for potty, and he really hasn't been THAT hard to potty-train. The only problem was that he wasn't sleeping through the night. I'm not sure if he just didn't realize that bed = sleeptime, or what. But we're just now getting to the point where he goes and stands by/sniffs/paws at the front door to tell us he has to go out. Which, you know, two weeks after bringing him home isn't that bad, in my book. :)
It's just this crate-training that's gonna be a beeyotch. (I've been trying to keep him in there periodically during the day. A little while in the crate, rewards when he settles down, and then playtime when he's let out. Hopefully that'll help too!)
