At 5:30 this morning, Waaay before the normal wake up time for Dale, he came galloping into the bedroom. He stuck his nose on Mike's back and was told "go lay down." He came scrambling around the bed and bopped me a couple of times with his paw, but I didn't move. So he jumped on the bed and pounced on Mike...who still didn't move.
That was our mistake.
He hopped off the bed and left the room...we thought to go lay down somewhere.
All of a sudden we hear him peeing.
Poor guy couldn't wait and we were still asleep.
But we saw evidence of his intelligence and doggy logic.
He tried to pee as close to the toilet as he could...since he'd seen Mike use it, and knew that's where we went...so he must have figured it was the place where he'd less likely get in trouble for peeing in the house. Here's the other thing that showed us this wasn't random...he NEVER voluntarily goes into the bathroom since that's where the evil baths happen.
He didn't get in trouble at all. We cleaned up the mess and told ourselves that we have GOT to pay more attention to the dog when he wakes us up in the middle of the night.
But, we do have a smart dog.

Yes you do. I can tell Dale is smart just by looking at him! I bet that dog actually could pee in the toilet someday.
