Interesting question. Why would an aged dog "decide" to do that. In my opinion he probably didn't "decide" to do anything. At his age he is likely to have a medical problem that would cause a behavioral change. He may have diabetes that causes him to need to urinate more frequently. He may have a bladder infection and the pain that goes with it. He probably feels the need to urinate more often to relieve the pain. A bladder infection is easily cured and diabetes is easily managed. It could be a number of other things that only a Vet can figure out. Please see a Vet. A companion of 15 years deserves at least that.
