Bladder control

This morning I went out to clean off the cars. Somebody four-legged has great bladder control. You could see that in the snow. It looked like he'd climbed atop the hood of my car and applied urine with an eyedropper so he wouldn't use too much and wouldn't miss any spots. Then he proceeded to cover another 3-4 square yards of snow along the edge of the yard in the same manner.

Before it snowed and then warmed up enough for the animals to go out during the night I didn't realize that marking one's territory was similar to painting one's living room. For some reason it seemed like a few strategically-placed odors were all it took. Guess that was naively anthropomorphic thinking.
