Thwarted by the dog

During Ginger's first year when we would walk her, she would pee once, maybe twice, and always in a traditional squat. Then during the past year, she started lifting one hind leg towards the front in something that resembled a ninja crouch. But recently she has started hiking her leg and peeing on trees. We tell her, "That's not very ladylike," but she doesn't seem to care.

Last night as we walked her down a neighboring street she hiked her leg at almost every tree we passed. So tonight I got the idea of taking the camera and recording her doing her new potty trick.

I don't know why, but all the way down the street, she refused to humor me. Oh, she'd stop and take care of business, but she wouldn't go into full tilt mode. Until my camera battery died on the way home. Then she carefully watered 5 or 6 trees in a row.
