The Things I Learn from Dogs
They come up on the couch to cuddle.
They push me around in bed.
They guard me when I go to the bathroom.
And when I say, "Go outside" in the morning, they run and don't make a mess in in the house.

Kind of a one way street between me and my dogs Tino and Fea. They don't
ever seem to study me and my lifestyle, look over my shoulder when I'm paying bills but I watch them, learn from them.
When life creates a little problem, some mierda forms a little pile, they just kick a little dirt over it, cover it up and move on. Fea is 112 years
old now and I can find wisdom in her eyes, serenity in her staying power.

Unrelated to original theme of this thread, but no less important:
[ BTW..not my composition]
Theories on why dogs pee on car tires.
-----------------------------------------
I like dogs. I’m sure most of you do too. They’re warm, friendly, loyal and good drinking buddies. I’ve kind of figured them out by now. Everything
they do is straight-forward and simple. Everything, except peeing on tires.
Have you ever stood at a chai shop having your evening smoke watching the the dogs, the bikes, the people, the cars, the dogs, the people. And noticed
the four-legged creature tiptoeing around sniffing out people, dog butts, peoples butts, dustbins and vehicle tires. Vehicle tires! Would you believe
it! With all the numerous backsides walking around, they sniff out vehicle tires. And then they take a leak on it. It’s insane! They just love tires!
Why do dogs pee on tires?!
I’ve had numerous discussions in the past with various people about why dog pee on tires. Most of them, quite understandably so, change the topic.
Every once in a while (there are enquiring souls out there) I do manage to have a conversation and we fail to come to any conclusion. We’ve theorised
yet fall short on experimental proof. It is my hope that someone with the drive and motivation to solve one of the most mysterious processes in
nature. So here go the theories.
Chemical Theory:
Running tires burn rubber. Burnt rubber emanates Chemical X. Chemical X enters the nasal cavity of our beloved dog and triggers area of the brain
(hypothalamus?) responsible for loosening the bladder. Dog pees on the tire.
(R)Evolutionary Theory (The Brian Griffin Theory):
Dogs and man evolved side-by-side. The first wolves entered into human encampments for food. They were captured, told to behave themselves and
forcibly domesticated. Wolf did not like being treated like a dog and decided to revolt. Figured that man’s transportation technology has helped him
conquer world. We have known forever that to urinate on someone is to humiliate them. The wolves took a pee on one of our greatest discovery. The
wheel. Since then, dogs have always peed on tires. They may have forgotten the purpose, but their culture remains blind to the true reason behind this
activity. (Meaningless religious activities, please take note).
Philosophical Theory:
Dogs like peeing on tires. They were created for the purpose of being wonderful, loving pets who just pee on tires. Just like you can’t help being a
eco-system disrupting human being.
The God Theory:
God made a beautiful garden with apple tree from which man plucked an apple and ate it without permission. God peeed. Creates dogs to pee on the
fruits of our creation. (God less peeed?)
And finally,
The Evolution of the Smart Dog Theory:
Ever seen a dog sniff a tire and give out a meaningful nod?
Dogs figured since they can’t travel far on four feet and since they hadn’t yet figured how to write they need another means to communicate. What
better than to pee on the pride of our technological capability to create their own communication network!!
Everytime a dog pees on your vehicle tire and trots off he s******s to himself thinking, ‘heard of the phrase top dog?’.

Geezo, Dennis
The answer is easy - they want to drive the car,

D, they mark their territory wherever they are, saying "This is my hood". When they mark a tire the territory is expanded exponentially by the future
travel of the vehicle moved along by the tire. It must be a local or at most a regional thing otherwise you'd see them all over the bus and train
stations, the airplane place.

I've had weed sniffing US Border/Customs dogs go
for my tires coming back, it's the Mex Camp dogs who
left a note on the tires,
I believe there is some sort of Binational, reciprocal, agreement among the 2 Country perros re: Territory
