Eau de parfum, Chanel #5, that's a classic. How about Eau de Scout? Getting old sucks. And I'm not talking about myself. After all, it is my birthday in a few days. No no, not that. Scout is 15 years old (Scout is the golden retriever...not Scott the husband) which is like 105 years old in dog years. Much like with humans, when dogs get old they can't hold "it" very long. Like, if they gotta go, they just...go. Hence, since we moved into the new house, Scout's new home, is the garage. I'm over feeling guilty about having my "house" dog turn into a garage dog. About 6 months ago over it, every time I have to clean up a mess I just thank my lucky starts I'm cleaning up concrete and not hardwoods or new carpet.
But anyway, the reason I tell you all this is, I was loading the car to take Hannah to soccer, when I smell the smell. Dog pee doesn't smell good as is, but old man dog pee???? Think rotten tuna juice/pee. UUUGGGG! I don't have time to clean up a mess, I think. But I open the garage door (he always goes right by the door-poor dog) and as I'm stepping under the garage door...I feel a drip. A drip that lands right on my part, a drip that I feel dripping down my scalp. A drip of dog pee, old man dog pee. I hurry and go in to wipe and drown my head with water, that's all I had time for. I took one for the team. I dropped Hannah, picked up Hunter and was in the shower about a 1/2 hour later. All better now, but that was a long 1/2 hour!

Hey, how is your new ward coming?? :o) bummer I know but your post did make me chuckle. I've heard of people getting hit by flying bird poops but never dog pee from garage doors.
He's quite the centenarian in doggie years. Poor Scout. I bet he is mortified in his doggie way that things just don't work like they used to. We had a friend with a golden that would shave him in the summer. The dog actually was embarrassed, no kidding, and would hide behind the couch when company came. He didn't do that with a full coat of hair.
You may remember our golden in Hoffman. She lived a good long time,too. She was a great dog. Give old Scout a pat from Sister E.
Siiiiiiiiiick
