Guest Anonymous Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 My day was already hectic enough without this. I put the doggies up so I could clean the living room. I put Caeser outside in the backyard and Roxie and Bentley in their crates. They were crated because it's simply to darn hot out there for them today it's 85 degrees. So they were crated for a few hours while I was cleaning and getting everything ready for April's party. I go downstairs to let them out and I hear this dripping sound when Bentley stands up. He is peeing all over the place! He was soaking wet all over his rear. So on top of everything else I had to bathe him outside in the driveway. Ended up ruining what I was wearing. I did hold my temper, I didn't yell at him. But man I was sooooo angry. First at him, then at me. I don't know what caused this, never had this problem before. Guess that will teach me to ignore the dogs in order to clean house! Got to say he didn't really enjoy being bathed outside either. Usually he's in the bathtub with warm water. But there I am outside with a 140 pound St. Bernard soaking wet (both of us) and suds flying everywhere. I'm sure I was quite a sight to the neighbors! Sorry so long, just had to rant somewhere. Certainly couldn't rant at Bentley, he'd never forgive me. So sensitive! Quote

courtnek Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 have they been drinking more because it's so hot? what goes in must come out.... even two rooms away and upstairs, dogs can smell bleach, much better than we can. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 It probably was that he drank more than usual. But I can't believe he didn't give me ANY warning at all. No whining (which isn't so unusual he doesn't whine ever) or barking. Nothing. Well, I have learned my lesson. Hopefully it won't happen again. It's just strange because he's the dog that can go HOURS without having to go out. Well, at least he's clean now. He needed a bath anyway! :D Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Okay, now I'm worried. Bentley was put up during my daughter's b-day party because a little girl came who is afraid of dogs. Two hours later hubby went down to let him out and he had peed in his crate again. He had been taken out before being crated and he never does this. Is there some medical explaintion for this? I'm going to take him to the vet ASAP but they're closed tomorrow and I'm really worried! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Quote
courtnek Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Bantley, maybe he doesnt like the crate in unfamaliar situations. Freebee wouldnt be crated at all. perhaps he does not think of his crate as his den. but as somemting else. perhaps he feels punished? definitely take him to the vet, and discuss the reasons you crated him when he misbehaved...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 He wasn't crated because he misbehaved. He didn't do anything wrong. A little girl that came over for a party is really scared of dogs so he was crated while she was here. He's never had a problem being crated when people are home. He's a really laid back dog. With everything else we've been through with him I'm so scared it's going to be something bad or unfixable. Quote
