Not just thinking this Fri night, but being bamboozled, really ( It’s Fri night here)

Late this morning, I saw something I never saw before (since Bogart the Beagle entered my life):

I saw it, couldn’t unsee it: Bogart peed on the bed we share every night for the last 5 months!

It took some time for it to register in my mind. Then I grabbed some piece of clothing and placed it under his peeing. Next, I wiped the sheet and blanket with rubbing alcohol and let it dry.

I put this disturbing incident out of my mind for as long as I could, until this evening- to my horror- he peed AGAIN on the bed, and now, literally I can’t sleep on the bed and have to camp out in the “sun room” in this very, very rainy night.

My bed is a pee fest.

Could be Bogart’s anxiety (he has separation anxiety and feels anxious whenever I am not there with him, like when working in the yard). It could be a UTI- have to take him to a vet to rule this out)

In whichever case, I have no bed to sleep on tonight, it’s raining, it’s cold and.. well, this is my update tonight. Will sleep on the floor/ mattress/ blankets near Bogart tonight, hopefully sleep.

I love Bogart, but am not getting a second dog ever. I now understand how difficult it can be to be a parent/ a mother/ a beagle mom.

For crying out loud, I have no bed to sleep on. I feel guilty: should I never leave Bogart’s presence because of his separation anxiety?

Forever babysit him 25/7?

Getting ready to hard floor sleeping, if I can.

Would like to update you ( whomever may be reading) tomorrow (Sat morning)
