I took him out to relieve himself. I wasn’t paying attention to him. I was looking at a plant. I felt a warm moist sensation. He was peeing on my leg. ☹ ---

This reminds me of that book by Judge Judy “Don’t Pee on my Leg and tell me it’s Raining” Well, I guess it’s not raining. 😃 ---

Just a hint, Beanie… don’t let the dog teach the Bean Sprout anything about potty training. ---

I love both the **Green Bean** ’s OP and **Gingy** ’s first post in this thread. Heh. My dog sometimes pees on his own leg when I take him out. He’s a wussy boy who doesn’t always lift his leg is he needs to go _really_ bad, so he starts out squatting and sometimes hits one of his front legs. Silly pup. ---

Your dog wuves you… \*\* And the Making of the Lemonade when Life Gives you Lemons award goes to **aasna**! **aleksia** : I’m female. Otherwise, I might have just gone ahead and peed on him! :eek: I think it was just an accident. He doesn’t make a habit of peeing on us or anything. But this one time, he had a cortisone(?) shot, which sometimes causes uncontrollable peeing. Well, my husband woke up the next morning, and said to me, “Woah, I was having a dream that it was raining!” And sure enough, there was Spot, standing on the end of the bed, peeing all over my husband’s foot. ---

My dog Bouncer had a spell of peeing on my other dog Sasha. He’s wait till she went outside to pee, and while she was doing her business, he’d pee on her back. It took us a while to figure out why Sasha was coming in with a wet back. (Sasha’s alpha dog, but Bouncer would like to be alpha.) He’s a Rotten Little Monster, but we love him. ---

Heh. My dad (Bill) is about 73 y.o. and overweight, so consequently has accidents rather frequently. When my dog (also advanced in age, but not overweight) peed on his own foot, I threatened to start calling him “Bill.” ---

It wasn’t the plants in your front yard I hope. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=182502](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=182502) The dog peed on you because of the tomatoes…that would be rather tacky. 😉 ---
