Seriously? You're gonna pee on the chair? Seriously?

  • ChaseandZahrasmomC

    I was sitting in the chair and a half in the living room, had just moved from the couch, and Zahra gets off the couch goes to get a drink and then jumps up onto the back cushion of the seat to sit near me. Sweet of her, fine that is until she started squatting and I realized that she was peeing! :eek:

    The backdoor is right there, she didn't even go to it. Why did she do this???? :confused:

    The only thing that I can think of is that Chase took her bone when she got up to get a drink of water, but why pee on me?! Okay, why pee on the back of the chair that I am sitting on? Pee on him! :mad:

    I tossed her promptly outside after screaming "Zahra, NO!" and quickly put the chair cover and the chair cushion cover into the washing machine.

    The little pee machine is currently locked in her cage because I am still a little po'd (pun intended) at her.

    Seriously, what was she thinking?! :mad:

    HAHAHAHAHAHA…sorry. Guess she was mad that you let Chase take her bone!

    Dakota used to pee on my bed every time I brought out my suitcase to travel. It got to where I would pack a day early so I had time to do the laundry.

    Cassi used to make a point of peeing on the dining room floor first thing after every visit to the vet.

    Rocky will make a point of peeing directly in front of me whenever he feels I've been unduly mad at him (as if his majesty never does anything wrong). Argh….

    The only other time we've had issues with him peeing without warning (before the Fanconi flare ups began), was driving in the car. He'd get so nervous about passing motorcylces and big rigs that he'd "mark his territory" in the car. Talk about a pain to clean up. Thank god we got smart and started kenneling him for travel.

    My Dad always says, "It's better to be PO'd than peed on!" I guess now you can attest to that (lol)!

    When Shadow didn't want to show-and I mean REALLY didn't want to show-he would make his point by trying to pee on anyone close enough to do so!

    I got a big 'good' and 'unpredictable' surprise this morning: Binti was chased from view by a german shepherd and didn't come back. Usually they will walk around until we find each other again. This time she went all the way back to the car park, where she sat down next to our car, whining and moaning. I had no idea she knows which car is ours…

    Agreed. Sometimes I think the grosser it is they more they enjoy seeing our faces when they do it.

    In my opinion puppy humping is just a natural thing - lambs do it too. Yes it may be a dominance issue, I'm not sure. They usually grow out of it if and irt's quite easy to gently discourage them but above all don't make an issue of it.

    Seems like Tuck was just having a couple bad days with all of the small changes that seem so insignificant to the humans… I guess me coming back from vacation, having someone other than his walker walk him for a week and then changing back to the regular walker the next had him in a tizzy. He's not peeing anymore. I also strip tested him for several days during a week and the indicator never changed color, so I'm guessing I can rule out Fanconi for now, which would, of course, be the most extreme reaction from an overprotective parent. :)

    Another thought on the poop thing…the 100% guaranteed way to get Ruby to poop is to give her exercise. Also, Ruby only goes once a day (in the morning) unless something really excites her (like deer running across the road in front of her or a dog chasing her when we do an evening walk). We have a routine in the morning...first thing after I get up, I take her out...say "Potty Ru", she runs off the step and starts to sniff, I say "potty" a couple more times and she goes. (oh and while she's going, I say "good potty" a few times and follow up with a treat once finished). We have a daylight basement that extends off the porch so there is an overhang that she goes under and will potty no matter how hard it is pouring (takes longer in the rain or when it is windy because of all the noise). After the potty, then I run her on the bike or walk her (walks happen in light to moderate rain) - usually 1 - 2 miles. If I walk her, she sometimes poops on the walk (usually in one spot by a duck pond which is just about the halfway point of the walk). If I run her on the bike, as soon as we are back to the yard, we go in her dog pen, I say "poop Ru" and she starts doing the crazy run/circle thing and poops (again, I say "good poop" while she's going and give a treat to her when finished). I bet if you walked her first and then tried to get her to poop, you might have more success as she will have checked for messages from other dogs :D on her walk and gotten all the new scents from those.
