Deja Vu

I used to sleep on a waterbed. They are pretty nice, but I got tired of it. So now I have an astronaut mattress. I remember one night when we had the waterbed it started leaking in the middle of the night. It sounded like our big dog, Buddy, was just standing by the bed peeing, but never stopped. Then when I started to roll over to get up and see what was going on my hand landed in a suspiciously wet cover. It wasn't Buddy, it was just an old worn out waterbed mattress. It was Buddy last night.

We were in bed last night when all of a sudden I heard water running. I knew it wasn't my astronaut mattress. There was Buddy, making a great big puddle in the carpet. I got up and put him outside, and Keith dug out the carpet shampooer. He complained because I threw a towel down on the puddle. He told me to take it outside and leave it there. He cleaned up the puddle with the carpet shampooer, but today he says the house still smells like dog pee so now he wants to clean the carpet in the livingroom and bedroom again. I think he just did them a week ago, but now he's going to do it again I guess. Thanks, Buddy.

I hope he doesn't make a habit of peeing all over the place. He's getting old, but I didn't think he would need doggie depends. Keith is convinced his days are numbered. He's only 13, but for a big overweight dog that is pretty old. That would be 91 in people years. I've heard of dogs getting a lot older, but I think big dogs wear out quicker than little dogs. I wish Budd was a little tiny dog like Little Dog. He would be so cute if he was itty bitty. Not that he's not cute, but he's huge. Not Great Dane huge, but still, huge. A big fat dog.
