A Dog's Psyche

If my dogs could talk, I would want them to tell me how they choose their poop- and pee-stop. Whenever I take them for walks, they'll sniff at various spots along the way and if they decide, for some reason unknown to me, that this is the spot they want, they either lift their legs or take a squatting stance depending on whether it's big or small business. The small always comes first and for some reason it's never done at the same spot as the big.

Oh, have I also mentioned that my collie, Rex, is a very shy dog? If he sees people walking past or cars zooming past, he doesn't want to do his business. And he likes to run into bushes to it. Haha. So if you see me standing in a bush, it's my dog who's up to something. NOT me.

Let me try to adopt a dog's psyche--So I sniff and sniff at the grass looking for a good spot , but I smell another dog's pee/scent here. Hmmm...I'm not taking THIS spot anymore. That's just gross. I'm going for another pasture.

Do you think that's how dogs think??? I need Dr. DoLittle's help!

Ah, this reminds me of a book which is a favourite of mine. It's Peter Mayle's A Dog's Life which is written in the first person (or should I say canine) perspective of a dog. It's a hilarious book and had me in stitches when I read it.
