Default Dog Help: Urinating in The House

Okay ... A moment I can think.... A question? Yes.... This seems to
be more of an unusual situation......

The dog has no apparent health issues and was fully House Trained for
many years. I am very good to the dog, and been 'trying' to walk her
plenty.... ie Yesterday 10am, 4:30pm, 8pm and 11pm. My home is a good
place for her, and there is NO abuse at all in any form. She is not
confined to one room, but the dog spends most of her time with my mom.

Yet, this morning at 7am, there is a massssssive 'accident' the size
of all the urining outside for all 4 walks combined: 'directly' in
front of my bedroom door. It would have been done about 3am. That was
when I heard her outside of my door a few times, because it woke me
up.

You see, about 3/4 of the time atleast, outside: She is 'spotting'
rather than 'going'. The Other 1/4 is a smallish puddle. She has very
good control, over her urinating.... I have observed, very closely....
She is a healthy dog...

The only 'real' difference, is it 'turns out' my mom had the dog on a
100% human food diet, and I am trying to be honorable. I have got her
actually semi-expensive dog food, and am combining it with some human
food. Not too much and not too little at a time..... Been leaving
moderate amounts of water out, fresh....

If this was a bladder problem(no control), there would be 'solid
accidences' too and the accidents would be in other places too ie
beside/on my mom's bed.... Not that I am wanting the accidents on my
mom's bed.... Plus the puddles would not be specifically placed, to
saturate my entire floor. The times she saturates my floor, is either
when I am working or sleep: not around basically. There are seldom any
'messes' when I am home and awake.

The other difference I can think of.... Is my mom is retired. Hence
she could give alllllllllll of her attention to the dog. It has been
this way for quite some time. Even her jobs before, she could take the
dog with her, because they were walking jobs ouside. So there would be
the 2 differences: 100% human food, and 300% attention 24-7.

I will look into the info mentioned.... just later today.... life is
busy here.....

Thanx alllllll
