Pee Mail: Daily Dog News!

Have you ever wondered why dogs have to pee on every tree or post along your walk? They are leaving a bit a news as they "Go" (pun intended!). Supposedly, a dog can learn a lot from a previous dog's pee mail. I am guessing we figured that out from scientific testing the urine; the sex of the pee-er, intact or fixed, and stress levels. It must be important news to a dog because they always want to check it out.

And don't just think it's a "Guy" thing. From observing my own dog, Daisy, I know that females will also leave their pee mail.

Some dogs seem to just sniff the news while other dogs will pee right on top. When I have a group of dogs, I have seen the "Markers" go around after the other dogs have peed to be the last or highest pee on the post.

What does a dog do about this news...probably nothing but it could be a status builder by having the last mark or territorial claimer that means this property is mine. One thing I know is, I do not want a dog claiming or proving anything in or on my home. I am quite vigilant to make sure the dog pees in an appropriate location.

Just like us checking Email online, dogs are interested in what's happening in their world. Pee mail is a way for dogs to communicate and find out the daily news.
