Communicating with Lucky the dog - O.K., today was another "Wahhh?"

So we've zeroed into this time routine - he sleeps without complaing when I get up brazillion times to pee. And at 3 P.M. time for his TWO (2) Brazilion nuts. But it's very very irritating when he demands I wake for him to go outside at 5 A.M.

But his lack of vocabulary is, what, frustrating/irritating when who-knows-what-he-wants - and this morning we went through that - like, him asking for something but me going like, What do you WANT?

Guessing game - do you want to go outside, do you want - what, WHAT?!

So eventually, I hit on the magic answer - Whah-wah (water) - and he goes nuts, like, That's *IT*
