We raised our kid on 30 acres out of town. One of my fond memories is when he was just out of diapers and we were walking beside the J. C. Penney’s building when the urge hit and he did as trained: Drop trou and pee on the nearest vertical surface. This time it was JCP’s wall.
We did have a pretty good talk about the way people act when they’re IN TOWN as opposed to IN THE COUNTRY. I even pointed out the absence of livestock… since we had some at the time, and he’d watched THEM pee just anywhere…
The Australian Government put together a database of public toilets years ago, and copped some criticism for that, until the more thoughtful sort of person realised how helpful that might be for some people.
I hike with my dog Carmy everyday. Believe me. I get jealous of her nonchalant pee here, pee there, as I have to plan bathroom accessibility along our routes
When my daughter was little back in the early 70s, it was kind of a joke that she knew were every bathroom in every store was. Could she remember where she put her shoes or jackets? No. I found one shoe in the iceplants in front of tthe apartment swingset area. I’m still looking for the other shoe.
A new member of the diplomatic core was hoping to get ideas from a higher up who had been involved for years in negotiations all over the world. He said his main advice was “never pass up a chance to use the toilet”
Today’s strip strikes home, I guess depends on where I am as like Earl I too look for bathrooms, now for our dogs, the male Golden Retriever goes where he wants to as Roscoe.
In public, I sit with my back to a wall, preferably facing the door, and I check out all exits without even realizing it any more. I know where the bathrooms are. I guess I spent too many years in martial arts and raising a child. They are much alike.

When you run long distances you learn where they are.

When I enter a room, I note where all of the exits are. But then, I’m claustrophobic.

Earl and Opal not only have to know the restroom locations for themselves, they need to know where the trash bins are, too- for Roscoe’s “deposits”.

I don’t know … Dogs seem to like to sniff out just the right spot to go.

Another part of being a dog Roscoe is the fact that you never have to think about what to wear for you always have a coat on ;-)

When we had our son’s dog for several months, I quickly learned that our entire neighborhood is one gigantic dog urinal.

Mom ALWAYS said”Never pass up a restroom”-now that I’m older I see the wisdom in those words……

Except he’s too finicky about where ‘where’ is.
Sometimes I have to ask my dog to give piss a chance.

Isn’t “claustrophobic” when you’re scared by Santa?
