01: A Wee about Having the Wees
When I was a tiny puppy, people kept staring at me while I was doing my wees. My wee-logic differed from my comrades’ — something I was completely unaware of at the time.
Naturally, I had assumed that the mostest sensible thing to do is to lean against stuff while lifting one leg. Just to steady myself, right? Even more so when I had to go out in the middle of the night and my human was swaying just as much as I was.
She leaned against the tree.
I leaned against the tree.
And all was well.
Or so I thought.
Then I would notice everyone staring. And by this I really mean…
…EVERYONE!
It was very disturbing.
They just don’t get it. We doggies can be very practical thinkers.
At least, it is while you are a puppy.
Later, I learned that part of growing up had to do with prioritizing logic. So, while safety and ease of wee were a higher priority when I was young, looking cool and totally in control is all that matters when you are playing the grown-up doggie game.
Unfortunately, trying to look cool and totally in control leads to a whole lot of extra challenges.
After all, if APPEARANCE is all that counts, then there could always be a better-looking opportunity around the next tree, right?
Maybe.
