Learning about the way they pee!
We have two smaller dogs in our family, Sweeny and Pedy.
I am sure many of you have dogs that are smaller then the average dog; whatever that means!
So the article that was published, once again on Mother Nature Network, will strike a chord!

“So they aim high to look big.”
I’m sure there must be a joke somewhere there but can’t find it!!
So closing with another two pics of our little ones.

Learning from Dogs 
What an interesting read! I didn’t know that about hiking the leg higher to pee. But the survival instinct is strong so a dog perpetuating that it is bigger than what it is makes sense.

Hadn’t occurred to me, either, despite the fact that we see our little ones peeing several times each day! But it does make sense!

I have one small dog and he will stretch his leg way over his head to pee over the mark of his bigger brothers.

I’ve read about this theory before. Fascinating. Who’d have thought little dogs would act much like Napoleon.

Totally fascinating. Because it reveals something that I am sure is not part of the mental world of just smaller dogs. I am thinking of the dog having a self-awareness that goes beyond the most basic of instincts. Well done!

I think it’s hard wired in modern dogs. Mother Nature built in some amazing compensation traits to keep her ‘canine children’ safe.

Yes, most probably. But defining exactly what ‘hard wired’ is in terms of dog psychology is still a fascinating line of thought!

Maybe I should write a book for us Dogs, ‘PeeMail, how to read between the lines.’
