Carpet Pisser

He peed on my rug, man….

I have an 11yo 100lb dog that I rescued two years ago. He has gotten in the habit of pissing in the house while I am at work and sometimes when I am home. He never used to do this, and at night he doesn't do it…he is also drinking more than usual amounts of water (which I have cut down).

It's really disgusting and is adding up with pee pads and paper towels. Not sure I can keep this up for the next three years before he dies. I will have disgusting carpets and pergo floor with warped boards.

I haven't ruled out old age and I have not taken him to the vet yet. Or I wonder if he is getting laszyfrustrated with being home alone while I am at work for 8 hours a day? My exe's dog's were carpet pissers and maybe he smells their urine and thinks it's ok??

Any thoughts of what I can do? crate him? Diapers?
