pei obssessed Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Here I am at the dog park with my new winter coat (third day I've worn it), and a Great Dane male (fixed) comes over, lifts his leg and pees all over my back! I was sooo mad... his owner was upset too and said the dog never did that before... I really don't understand why a dog would mark a person--I can understand about marking territory, but am I territory to him? :agrue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Cassie Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry, I don't mean to laugh...I have had this happen to me at dog shows before. A friend of mine was showing her dalmations and I stopped to talk with her...her male lifted his leg and peed all over my legs. She just got mad and said...dirty old dalmations!!!! some males just have no manners and will pee on the first convenient vertical surface...you were probably the closest thing the dog saw at that moment...or perhaps he smelt another dog on you...this can be a reason to why they may do that...I have had males smelling my legs...probably smelt really good since I recently had been sitting with my female Rottie (spayed) and he was ready to pee on me...I was ready for him as I could see the signs...sniffing, really interesting smell on me...and just turning slightly to start to raise the leg... :lol: I wouldn't read too much into this...it happens. Some times its just a dirty dog with no manners...and some times they just smell some thing really good on you and decide to leave their message. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pei obssessed Posted January 8, 2004 Author Share Posted January 8, 2004 [quote name='Cassie'] probably smelt really good since I recently had been sitting with my female Rottie (spayed) and he was ready to pee on me...I was ready for him as I could see the signs...sniffing, really interesting smell on me...and just turning slightly to start to raise the leg... :lol: [/quote] That makes total sense, I'm guessing my coat would smell like Hippo, and I know Harry (the Great Dane) "likes" Hippo and has been after her forever--but the little one keeps him in line, which is quite funny to see :lol: If I saw him, I would have moved away, but he came behind me and peed on my back, sneaky monster!!!!! And I'm not really mad at him, I'm just mad about my coat--it's filled with dawn and might get ruined when I wash it, regardless of what they say on the label... If my coat looks ok after the wash, I'll just think it's funny too :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Pei DONT wash it....have it dry cleaned. Washing will not remove the pheremones, and it could very easily cause the feathers to stick through the lining and ruin the coat. I washed my sons down coat and it disintegrated shortly after that. If you do decide to wash it, let it hang to dry. Dont put it in the dryer. I think that's what ruined Kyle's coat. and wash it in cold water.

Malamum Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 :lol: :lol: I'm sorry I can't help but laugh either. I second Courtnek - I think getting the coat dry cleaned is the best idea. Though if it were me I would probably be a little emabarassed taking a coat in that smelt like dog wee and would probably wash it myself :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Laurel peed on Kyle's leather jacket (he left it laying on the floor) the people at the drycleaners didnt bat an eyelash.... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pei obssessed Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 I'm pretty pissed off right now: I've washed the coat because it said on its label "do not dry clean, machine wash in cold water & tumble dry low". Now it's gone twice through the dryer and it had clumps of dawn all through the different little sqares--I've evened them out and put it through the dryer again because it wasn't dry yet... but it doesn't look good at all. Problem is that I have another one of these coats which I had dry cleaned and the feathers still cumped. So there is no way around it, these stupid coats aren't made for cleaning--ever. And I'm pretty sure this is the last one of them feathered coats I'm buying! :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseatthebusstop Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Take it back to the shop they should give you an exchange -the lable wash you washed it now the coat is spoilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendalyn Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Mouse is right, try taking it back. You washed it according to label instructions and it got ruined. That's not right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malamum Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I must admit that I don't put ANYTHING in the dryer that is not made of T-shirt type material or towels. Even if the label says it's ok. I shrunk a pair of jeans in the dryer (even on low) - they now belong to my shorter, skinnier friend :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommacat Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 You need to put it in the dryer with a clean tennis shoe or 2 . That will knock the feathers around enough to get them unclumped and back in place. I used to wash down coats all the time, and they come out fine this way. Works on our down comforter, too.

pei obssessed Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 hey, I'm a happy person today: after picking at the feathers and evening them out, and then putting my coat in the dryer again, now it's ok , almost as good as new :D But I still think that if I was to be peed on, at least it could have been a Shi Tzu or a toy poodle, didn't have to be a great dane with a full bladder :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
