[Dailydrool] Little boy pee question

[Dale Rutz]

Yep, and it's not just the short leggers either.

Cyrus would sway his back and pee when he thought no one was looking and he had 
the longest legs I've ever seen on a dog.  If he had any clue someone might be 
looking he lifted his leg.  Always.

Snoopy does the sway back pee first thing in the morning or when he's feeling 
otherwise lazy or tired.  He can and will lift his leg if/when he feels like it.

Perfectly normal so far as I can tell.

We've had a number of bassets we adopted and even more who spent time here as 
fosters. I have never seen one of them pee the way Horton does. He stretches out 
his back legs, almost in what I call "frog legs," where they are turned out and 
flat on the ground. He doesn't quite touch the ground, but leans forward so his 
pee doesn't get anywhere near his legs.

Does anyone else have a dog who does this? I wonder if it has anything to do 
with his broken hind leg. Maybe this felt more comfortable than lifting a leg?


If I can get a picture of this, I will have to share it on Facebook, but I just 
haven't had a camera around at the right moment.
