I can't believe Gail wants me to show pictures of flowers in the park today when I have something much more exciting to report!
It all started a few weeks ago, when I noticed my grown up friends in the park, the big boy dogs, looking at me askance as I squatted to empty my bladder. I then saw that they were lifting their leg, usually against a tree or wall, and spraying a satisfyingly large area with their pee, thereby leaving a clear message for other pups to detect.
I started feeling an urge to copy the big dogs. I'll be honest, my first few attempts were somewhat tentative. Keeping one's balance while achieving a satisfactory height is a skill that takes some practice. At first I could only lift my paw an inch or two from the ground and hold the position for a few seconds, hardly long enough to empty one's bladder properly.
But this week I am proud to announce that I am now a fully fledged and ambidextrous leg cocker. And I am sure you too will be impressed with these photos of my new accomplishment...
Pee ess: Gail tells me that my predecessor Bouncing Bertie did not reach this notable masculinity milestone until he was eight months old. Not that I'm boasting or anything...
