As you now, Rusty has issues. In particular, the lack of a liver means I have to be very careful with his food (which I make every few days) and we have to give him lots and lots of water.

| Rusty: Pre-cut |
This lots and lots of water means that he pees all the time. This would annoy me, but I pee all the time and I get it honestly from my mother, who pees all the time. However, of course, both my mother and I can make it to the restroom. Rusty, being a dog and unable to press the down button at the elevator, cannot. So he is always in a diaper while in the house.
Here is where the annoyance of intelligence comes in. He doesn't really like being "wet" (he doesn't stay "wet" since the diapers for dogs turn the liquid into gel) and having his diaper saggy and heavy. He has found that coming into my space, and shaking his head (so I hear his metal name tag ding) alerts me to check him. And, if i find him wet, I change his diaper.
This is great, insofar as it keeps him cleaner and drier. It is, however, a little annoying to be working on something only to have the dog burst and say, essentially, "change me, Jeeves." And, if I don't hop to it quite fast enough, I get a loud jangle which hits my ears as, "Damn it, man! I said Change Me!"
Again, I admire he does this, but it is odd have your dog nag you.
