| Otis is four years old and I have never seen him lift his leg once! He pees like a girl. |

| Junebug, does Otis "mark" a lot? You are so lucky to have a squatter if it curbs that tendency. So far, Higgins doesn't mark much. They say if you have them neutered just before they start lifting their leg that they won't pee everywhere. Higgins will be 6 months old at the end of June and we were planning on having him fixed then, as well as any teeth needing to be removed and also having him chipped. I hope that isn't going to be too late if he really starts to lift his leg! Will check with my vet........ By the way, it looks like it is going to run around $250 to have the little guy fixed!!!! Yikes!!!!! I am calling another vet today to get their prices........ |

| $250 seems a little steep to get him 'fixed'. Yoda didn't mark or lift his leg to pee for at least 5-6 months. Then all of a sudden, we take him on a walk, and he goes near the power pole lifts his rear right leg and pees on it. Ever since then, he's loved to mark his territory... |

| Funny how one day they aren't doing something, and then the next they are doing it all the time! For the longest time, Higgins didn't jump up on furniture or off it, then one day he just started to FLY! Up, down, and all around! |

| Poor Toto! And to have Mom laugh after she falls! Just kidding, Yoda used to be fearless and do crazy jumps up onto a guest bedroom bed. It must have been at least 2 and a half feet high. But he's make it most of the time. I know he's jumped off our bedroom bed too at times (probably 3 feet high) when he thinks there is some emergency going on. At least the carpet in both rooms is pretty soft, though I prefer him not to jump from high distances. His poor little legs have given out at times and he's limped like he twisted it or something. But he's been fine for a while now... I still need to get to making those steps like MikeM made for Otis! |

| Err, we got the wood, just need some tools... Though Yoda's Mommy will probably get to it before I do. |
