By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I took the dog for a 45 minute walk/jog. She sniffed everything on the ground like she always does. She marked her territory twice, then we finally got home. As soon as I took her off the leash inside, she ran to the kitchen and took a dump right on the kitchen mat. FML

She was marking her territory. Again. Pissing or ******** in the house is just another way for your dog to tell you that she's the alpha and you're not. As #3 said, marking is unusual in bitches unless they're dominants. She most likely considers you a pack member of lower rank. So start showing her who's boss, or she'll be ******** elsewhere in the house to assert her status. Stop acting like a lesser pack member. Use a strong, assertive voice when correcting your dog. Do not lower yourself to her height when greeting her (bend down if necessary, but do not crouch to her eye level). If necessary, gently grab her upper jaw or nose to administer discipline (in a wild pack, greeting involves the more submissive canine approaching on the belly and reaching up to lick the leader's lower jaw, so handling your dog's lower jaw could be taken as a sign of submission to her alpha status). If assertiveness is not working, turn your back and ignore her until she corrects her behavior (she will eventually realize she has done something wrong and run to your front side to regain your attention, so keep turning your back on her until she crouches and whines/rolls over to show her belly/displays other apologetic behavior). Seriously. Take charge, or you'll be her bitch.

A dominant bitch will actually mark. It's more prominent in males for sure, but not unheard of for bitches. Although if she never does it and then suddenly starts, it could actually be a urinary tract infection.

How is this a FML? Isn't this what you signed up for when you...I dunno...GOT THE DOG?

This. Why did you get a dog if you were just going to bitch and complain about the work involved. I know it sucks that after being out for that long, she decides taking a dump is a good idea immediately after the fact, but still...

Yeah, so? If she's young she probably just forgot it (or she didn't feel good outsite - because of many people or something), if she's old enough and doesn't do things like that anymore she doesn't respect you as the boss. Then you deserved it.

So what? It happens. Especially if your dog is a puppy, its part of owning a dog. Clean it up-its not that hard and dont be a bitch about it.

With 5 puppies you get used to cleaning it up and washing things...
