Water Pump cycling???? um???

I replaced my water pump in my Outback a few months ago because it would intermittently pulsate on. It became more pronounced and when I finally decided to really do something about it, I replaced the pump and never had a problem again.... until...

Our trip to South Dakota, we just returned from. But one night at Custer, SD, I woke up to what I thought was the sound of the water pump cycling on again! I woke up from a dead sleep. The water pump is located under a panel right beside the bed, so when it cycles on, I hear it. My wife sleeps through it, but I hear it.

So, I woke up from a dead sleep, sat up in bed, and sure enough, there it was the burrrrrr. burrrrrr, burrrrrrr, sound again. I immediately thought ... OH @*/%!!!!!! and what was worse, it was cycling about once every 3 or 4 seconds! OH my!

I sat there and listened, frustrated as everything, especially since we were 1300 miles from home! Then I realized, the sound was actually coming from the other side of the bed! And then I realized, our Dachshund, sleeping on the other side of my wife in bed was SNORING!

Boy, was I relieved!
  • LOL There are numerous anti-snore devices advertised in the media. Getting one that doggie would tolerate would present quite a challenge. :B

    Snoring is better than what our Longhaired Dachshund occasionally does
    in the middle of the night, he'll wake you from a sound sleep wishing you had a gas mask.:E :R
  • My suggestion is to not change your Doxie....that would mean living through the puppy stage again and waiting two years before it becomes an adult.

    Pets are fun aren't they!
  • LOL. dang pets, making noises like that. Scaring us for no reason.
