It's definetly not a bladder problem, it's IS a bad habit...He gets his water and food in the morning and again in the evening. Our vet says it's ok to limit his water, so not to leave it for him all day. This morning he didn't bark til 5:30, which is fine with me cause the alarm goes off at 5:45am...so I'll just continue to ignore him if it's earlier...

We have a doggie problem of a different sort. She gets mad whenever I go anywhere and leave her alone. Now she has been left for long periods of time, when everone was working, but now she goes downstairs and dumps and wets. We don't want to leave her outside (also on a chain) because in winter it gets wet and cold. Did I mention that my sewing room IS the downstairs??? We have a daylight basement and all my toys are down there.

We let him out right before we go to bed, between 10and 11pm, and now he's got us trained to come running when he barks at night to be let out. I really can't take it anymore. I had to vent...I just want a full nights sleep...

At least he barks, our "baby" is 18, she never barks anymore, and when she gets up it's a crap shoot as to whether she will make it outside or not to piddle so now we're trained to pick her up, take her outside to her favorite grassy area, and set her down so she can do her business! And sometimes it's 2 or 3 in the morning!
Thanks goodness we live in a area where it doesn't snow!

I also think a trip to the vet is in order in case it is a bladder infection.
