One of the symptoms of Pogo's diabetes is occasional incontinence. Most of the time he's fine, but we've had to adjust his insulin dose again, with the result that he sometimes has accidents at night. It also bears mentioning that he sleeps in the bed with us.
I have to give Boyfriend credit for taking the situation with good grace and a sense of humor. As he put it the other day, with a resigned sigh, "I never thought I'd be so blasé about somebody peeing in my bed."
Neither Boyfriend nor I have the heart to banish him from the bed, since it's where he's slept since he came to live with us years ago. He wouldn't understand why he couldn't get on the bed, and it would feel like he was being punished. So instead, we're doing a lot of laundry. Since our dryer at home is broken, we've been making more than a few trips to the laundromat. That's where today's pic of our pretty green bedsheets in the dryer was taken.
It's tough watching Pogo grow old, but we do our best to keep him healthy and comfortable. We owe the little guy that much.
