A Story of a Black Lab in the Night
Last night was a rough night. Let me run down the timeline.
- 2:30 Oscar gets up and needs to go out.
- 2:40 I settle back into bed, and Tucker starts barking, not little woofs, but all out barking. I let him out. i try to get him to settle down, but he keeps barking when I close the door, so I decide to just sleep in Chloe’s bed.
- He never settles down and keeps scratching at the door, chewing his toys, jumping on and off the bed.
- 5:00 He finally goes to sleep next to Taz and me.
- 5:30 Dexter’s alarm, which he told me just yesterday was broken, starts going off, waking me up. When I’m in Dexter’s room turning the alarm off, I hear Tucker peeing, a lot, in the hallway. I go out to stop him, and he runs back in Chloe’s room. As I’m cleaning up, I realized he was still peeing as he ran into Chloe’s room, so there is pee all over the place. Once I get towels down, I plop back into bed where I discover that he peed in the bed, too, and now my back is covered in pee.
- 5:45 I have to shower. Did I mention I’m covered in piss? I was going to get up at 6:30 anyway, so I get ready to go to the gym. I go downstairs to discover a huge pile of crap in the foyer plus the biggest pool of pee I have ever seen. It stretched from the back door to the fridge.
Keep in mind this came from a dog that I had let out three times between the hours of 2:45 and 5:00. Also, this occurred the night after the cleaners had come.
Time to attack the day!
