Dogs circle when they lay down, too. I think it's to be sure
that no cats are going to fuck with them. As for where they go,
it has to do with scent. I don't know where they get all that piss,
but if there are places they want to mark, they mark them.
I've figured out why dogs lift their legs to piss up a tree,
it's to make the dog's that come along think that they are
taller than they really are. The next dogs sniff at the tree and
think, "Oh! A really big dog pissed here!"
Cats will get on the throne, too! So, you don't need a cat box.

OK..... so what you're saying here is dogs can't reason out that if
THEY'RE doing the leg up thing, then OTHER dogs might be doing it too?
Not real smart, are they?

Well, not much worse than people. It's like the arm's race.

They're running a distributed balancing algorithm, fine tuning the
