[quote=Anonymous]Yes, this is an older poodle so she needs to be taken out more than she did as a youngster, she can't hold it as long (people totally forget this when their dog hits those older years)

she also might be getting a bit of senility, and will whine in the middle of the night (or outright bark) - sometimes this can be cured with a few nightlights, as it's sometimes because they are disoriented and "lost" in the dark.  I know, sounds crazy, but we cured our ancient golden retriever of this with a nightlight in every light socket in the house.

But I'd be direct, and I'd expect that the dog would be better cared for. Period. Or I'd leave. Because I can't stand this, and I can't stand it when people don't take care of their older animals once they have children!

Or I'd also be part of the solution (although it would piss be off, pardon the pun). Because I couldn't stand it when she'd whine like that, I'd march up those stairs, open the door to the basement, and say that "Missy needs to go out, she's been whining" and then I'd open the door and let her out (if their yard is fenced). Or I'd expect that they would now do the right thing and walk the poor dog.  BUT I'd only do this after I'd had an honest conversation about  what's happening downstairs. And I'd look for and find another job.  [/quote]
