My boyfriend’s dog peed on my laptop. Not intentionally. We think she was sitting on his couch (which she’s not supposed to do) and had an accident. Poor girl’s fur was soaked in pee which leads us to think she might have a bladder problem.

Some of the moisture got wicked up the little cracks in the bottom of the laptop and now it’s fried. I’m going to take it into the Apple store and see what can be done. I have the original receipt.

I use it pretty much as a terminal for blogging and checking email at his house since I like to be able to check email daily so it’s not vital, but it does explain a little about why posting has been light recently. I dislike using his computer for my stuff. The really important stuff is on my desktop at home, which gets a regular back up on an external hard drive.

I’m just sad because there is no way I can replace it for the same price I paid. This was a laptop my friend did not want because she hated it. I got an extremely good deal on a gently used model that is fully loaded with software. The timing is also terrible since I was going to take it to Boston this weekend to entertain me when I fly.

At any rate, if we thought the dog was going to pee there, we wouldn’t have left it on the couch. As it was, this is the first time she’s done this sort of thing and now we’re worried she has a bladder issue.

You can’t get mad at a dog. You just can’t. She was so happy to see us when we got home that night. I don’t understand people who think dogs are sneaky and malicious. Cats are sneaky and will poop in your closet. Dogs are dumb and sweet. I really like my boyfriend’s dog so my fellow co-worker’s suggestion that I make ultimatums about me or the dog were way out there.

Boyfriend has offered to pay for a new battery, but I don’t want to say ok till the damage is fully assessed. Maybe there is a magic rescue for it.
