'It's only a laugh, no harm done'
Thank you.
Conversely I don't know how I have kept this one alive so long. He's just shot past me so I grabbed his collar. I also managed to stand on his tail so he roared and I let go. He then decided to bypass the back door, took off from the top step and landed face first on the grass. He unfolded himself and galloped around to the front garden with me in hot pursuit and he's currently striding out four or five meters in front of me and would be further but I've stopped the flexi. And I walk fast
My nerves are wrecked.

Urine test is clear, other things mentioned were potential tumour, prostate or arthritis but I'm not inclined to get an ultrasound at this time.
He's still able to hold it for a long time.
I have started doing the female's feet outside on the back step to see if that was a factor.
He did start whining on Sunday night/early hours of Monday but I was so exhausted I fell back over to sleep again and in the morning he was fine, no accidents or stiffness even after the spectacular splat in the back garden, which I believe is down to being supercharged by Meloxicam
For those that do know him, they will understand why I am considering that he might be trolling me to get a nice run around the garden at 2am....

Update for anyone interested in the infernal bogbrush, I waited him out for another night or two and he stopped wheedling. Will keep him on the expensive food and the supplement/painkillers for now anyhow.
Another factor is that his spawn has now gone into a very seasony season, her run looks like a butcher's shop and she's flagging FOR ME, so the little weirdo is on Moody Bitch. He's not making any moves to get to her, as at his age, I think he's probably forgotten what sex is, but the smell would certainly be enough to unsettle him at night.

I'm glad he's settled down, even if you're not really sure why. It certainly can take some bitches a long time to come into season properly, with a long 'introductory period' just prior.
