I guess he likes me....

Many years ago, while visiting Paris, I had to go.....and decided that behind a big bush, in a quiet area of the park would be ok. I had on a skirt so it was an easy thing to accomplish. I wasn't able to enjoy total comfort and "splashed" a little on my shoes. No big deal.

Later that morning while waiting in a long line to get on one of the boats that floats up and down the Seine, a person was standing a few feet down the line from me, with her/his dog, allowed the dog to wander. Yep, you guessed it. The dog walked right over to me, and peed on MY SHOE! I guess "what is good for the tourist to do, is good for the dog to do".......

I know, I know, Americans have no class.

I really was careful not to have anyone see me "use the park" ..... I really had to go....and there was no place in range......

Too much information?

I always thought (Was told) it was a dominance thing . Glad to hear Anvik has settled in .

Congratulations... I think? This is so funny - last night at the dogpark, people were talking about dogs peeing on people there.

I'm kind of glad no one has "claimed" me! Rosie used to claim me by standing on my foot, leaning very hard against my legs & growling at Star...I guess I'll take that over a "shower" any day!

From a different dog, I might say it was a dominant gesture, but Anvik doesn't have a dominant bone in his body. He's very submissive to everyone, me and the other dogs.

I used to have a cat, Twicket, who marked me a couple times--while I was asleep, on my head! I'd much rather have a little dog pee on my leg than have cat pee in my hair at 3am!
