Shiloh + Whining = No sleep last night!

[Tricia, Shiloh, Fenway & Tessie]

OMG....it was awful....I took the boys out for their last potty of the night at around 11:00....crated them, turned off the lights (same routine as always) and went to bed myself. Shiloh (who is 1 year old and has ALWAYS been awesome in his crate) whined at 12:50...so I got up and took him out, he didn't poop at the 11:00 lawn visit, so I thought maybe that was it. He still didn't leave the grass any presents....so back in, back to the crate...and back to bed. Almost asleep, 30 minutes later....whining, again! This went on about every 30 minutes all night long! I got out of bed and took him outside each time because it was just so weird! But I am dragging today! And cranky....I know I am cranky....I hope he doesn't do that again tonight because I don't think I will handle it quite as well a second time! Any thoughts on what his problem might be? If he does repeat it tonight....should I take him out each time?

Is he having tummy problems? Something he ate? Or maybe it's just a teenager thing!!This is just my opinion but I think if he pottys before bed and starts whining again I'd not take him out. He may start thinking hmm, everytime I whine mom gets me out.

Well we were having stomach issues because I tried to change their food....but I went back to their food...the diarrhea stopped and they have both been normal now for about a week. I don't really think he is sick....he acts fine....as a matter of fact....he tried to play two of the times I took him out. I am worried about him thinking it is a fun new game...but since he doesn't normally act this way I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. Tonight I don't think I would be quite so nice.
