My golden Otis has two different stances: one is all business "I just need to GO" and he squats when that is the case; the other is reserved for walks in the woods or around the neighborhood where he seems to think "Hmmm...I like that little tree, I think I'll take it" and that is when his leg comes up.

Smokey is like this, too. Squats at home to GO, lifts on a walk.

I remember the first time I saw him lift his leg, I was in Michigan and my exboyfriend and I were hanging out in my truck on this dirt road and I took Smokey for a quick out to see if he needed to pee and he lifted his leg! I was like, "WHOA! Adam, did you see that?!?" Out of nowhere. He was about 5 1/2 months old at the time.
