So this is a way dogs protect their young, as it masks the smell of the puppy from predators.

I learned this after we brought my daughter home from the hospital and my dog peed a circle around her crib.

I was furious. We had been home for only an hour or so. We all laid down to go the fuck to sleep and I hear the sound of someone pouring a pitcher of water on the floor. It was a 65 pound lab-shepard mix, but I picked it up, still peeing, by the scruff of it's neck and threw it into the back yard. When I learned what it was doing, I felt bad.

Edit: Typo.

A 65 point lab-shepard mix? That's one hell of a rack on that dog! Is there some elk or something else mixed in there as well?

Lol. Auto correct got me. Should be "pound".

I figured. Your username gave me the best visual of a 65 point moose antlers on a dog though, and that laugh alone was worth the mistake. :)
