| For those with leg lifters Do your little guys have a preference? I mean are dogs like people and either left or right pawed? Alphy always lifts only his left leg to pee. If the thing he wants to pee on is on his right, he will spin around to lift his left leg. He always spins twice before pooping. And I love how he walks like little bunny foo foo. Which is even cuter when he has a twig stuck to his leg because then he becomes the head of the conga line.

| When we did a training class, our trainer said that dogs ARE either right or left pawed. She said that if you throw a toy (behind them) whichever direction they spin to is which "pawed" they are. Sadie spins to the left EVERY time. When I ask her if she wants a treat or if she is hungry, she always spins to the left. When she does her commands like "shake" and "high five" she always gives me the left. And even though she is a girl, she's a leg lifter too & always lifts the left leg. This is all funny to me because I'm left handed and got a left pawed baby!

| I never knew they could be lefty or righty! That's funny! Buddy is a righty. When he lifts his right rear leg to pee then he continues going up on his front legs until he is in a complete handstand and keeps peeing! I am going to catch him on camera when the weather gets warmer and post it. You won't believe it! It's hysterical. Carol & Buddy |

| Azrael, my little girl squats to pee, but raises her right rear leg up a little. I think so as not to pee on it. |
