WOW... the Mariners are hangin' tough.... Yankees are in town next week... YIKES... got tickets... should be fun...at least we have a tolerant and relatively cool stadium with regards to "visiting peeps".... should be a good series...
T-1 is giving a proper "shout out" to t-4.... pass the salami please and where the hell are the wool socks? LOLZ!
have you seen old yeller?
Sorry to hear about your dog's incontinence. It sucks when our bodies start to betray us.
If you don't like Whiskey's solution, which is drastic, start her on a continuous coffee IV drip. You might think that would just exacerbate the peeing problem but it will also keep her awake. If she is able to control where she goes that might be a workable solution. Don't think I'm advocating some inhumane solution either. Dogs sleep 95% of their life away, surely she has enough sleep stored up that a bout of insomnia wouldn't hurt her.
Krusty ran out of those over-the-counter wake up drugs.

Dog diapers or have her put down. You'll have to take her's and your own quality of life into account. You assumed the role of her pack leader knowing this day would come.
I guess you could also try just giving her water only on a regular schedule so you can avoid her sleeping with much in her bladder.
She's had a violent fear of the crate since she was about 7 months old when I came home from work to find her panicked. I think lightning must have struck just outside the window or something. I think the temporary solution until we find something better is going to be to replace the insides of her dog bed with small animal bedding like cedar shavings or something. Then we just hope she starts sleeping on the tile floor in the bathroom as it gets too warm in her dog bed. At least that I can clean up, but the wood floors are a little tricky.
Some kind of lined secondary containment of the dog bed. Lots of commercial absorbents available. As long as the dog only sleeps in that bed while in the house........
If you enjoy the animal then there is no reason to put it down for peeing in it's sleep. I would have been dead long ago if that was the case... :)
Anyone watch the really shitty show Gigilos on Showtime? What a crappy attempt at making a reality show. Faker than Ziggy's tits.
I have an idea. How about a FLOTUS troll doll?
