Mojo has always marked a little when we walked around, but it's now developed into 'real' marking.
Before, he'd mark maybe once every 5 or 10 walk. Now, he seems to mark 3 or 4 times per walk.
What's interesting is that he doesn't really lift his leg - he lifts his foot. Usually when he pees he has all four feet on the ground, and he sort of stretch/lowers his pelvis. When he marks he does the same, except that he lifts one of his back feet off the ground.
Right now he marks on the grass, especially those big tufts of grass that are irrisistable to dogs. I think those tufts are the equivalent of fire hydrants for small dogs. Mojo will, if he gets the chance, mark the same tuft of grass on the next go-around...after sniffing it, of course. Guess he didn't finish the job the first time?
