I kind of wondered about that myself and
if the leg liften is leg specific,

a bit damp in the process.
No real risk of one "hozin" da udder wun down ~
our Y-Thingies are 5-6 feetz long from the center loop -
pups can be 10-12 feetz apart.

But Dad fears da Chief Sittin/Eskort Dawg (SmokeMutt) went "On Strike"
this mornin...

We all dashed offa porch towardz da pond;
but Smoke <jammed onna brakes> an didda long *pee* inna frunt yard;
headed down ta his favorite #2 Spot;
but suddenly turned around an headed back to da porch -
(Lil Bit Bowzie draggin along behind)!

Now it WAS purdy KOLD out; but Smoke usually spendz a
bit more tyme onna Outie than that.

Aftur we had Brunch, Smoke & me went out "loose" whilst Bowzie got
hooked to da cable tie onna veranda.
Smoke made a BEE-line to his #2 Spot an did-it wiffout da
normal run-around-in-cirkelz fur two minnitz thing furst.
He sed onna way back to da howze, "BOY did I hafta *GO*!"

I fear Dad is konsiderin "Rotatin da Staff"...
