--I've lost track of how many times I've trudged out for my first cup of coffee, wearing socks or barefoot, only to discover the hard way that between me and my goal there's a big puddle of dog pee. So howzabout treating a floor with something that causes dramatic color change when wet? A spray-on ph-sensitive
coating, so one could tell whether it's a puddle of melted ice cubes or the stinky stuff. That way one wouldn't need to know whether to let the socks dry or to toss 'em in the hamper, yes?
--Plan B: ultraviolet night lights would cause pee to fluoresce; useful at night at least..

I could imagine this having an excellent application in public buildings to avoid slip and fall accidents. Remember, where there's blame, there's a claim. [+] |

As the proud owner of an old dog with increasingly poor bladder control I know exactly what you mean. Your idea sounds perfect for the job. |
|

<anecdote>I was once woken by the 'phone, ran down to answer it, rubbing my eyes sleepily, and found myself standing, barefoot, in a big dog poo which had been left, handily, right next to the phone table. It was a job agency offering me work so I couldn't hang up, but I had to stand there for a good 10 mins with brown yuk between my toes, trying to sound professional, before I could hang up and clean up</anecdote> |

Perfect, it's perfect, I got four incontinent dogs and the problem isn't really to evade the wet spots but to look for the dry ones. Will phenolftaleine work?. |
|
|
Smack the friggin dogs when they pee a few times and if it keeps happening you know what to do. |
|
|
But when I come home at three in the morning I want to write my name in the floor with my pee so plus. |
|
|
Could we do a 'Global 'Hypercolour' floor that was heat sensitive? That way you would leave a fading trail of footprints when walking in bare feet. |
|
|
Amazing. I pee-write but in the snow, never tried it in my living room. How does it feel?. |
|
|
[fin], there's only one way to find out... |
|
|
Only someone with legendary control over his bladder can dot the "i" mid-piss. |
|
|
I guess you could use the same stuff that supposedly makes pool water turn red when someone pees in it...does that exist or is it made up to keep people from peeing in pools? |
|
|
It exists etymon, but you can only find pooled deep within the stalagmites of the Terciopelo Cave after a hard rain. ONLY THEN!... will there be the red stuff, and even then, you must mix it with the blood of a three toed nopwanee before it gains its affects and even THEN, its still too toxic for the meanest of men... |
|
|
And you must sprinkle the shavings of a dead black birch into the fluid and leave it sit for two weeks in the moonlight at hide it from the sun at all costs otherwise it will not... |
|
|
Tough job for the pool attendant [spinster]. |
|
|
Try wall to wall newspaper. |
