I forgot about the water...I leave water out all the time and change it in the mornings.  Although my older dog has been needing out a lot in the middle of the night.  I might try picking up the water in the evening so she isn't drinking right before bedtime.  Monty does not have this problem, so perhaps it's an old dog thing and not so much leaving the water out.
