For me to pee on!
So I take Ichi on his routine 0.5 mile poop walk (doesn't poop till the last 100 ft) when I encounter a woman walking her 2 intact pugs (brothers). Ichi gets all excited, hackles up and starts play bowing to within 6 inches of them and darting away (I know, he's rude). Well, one of the dogs circles back behinds me and peed on the back of my calf!
The owner caught him in the act and was horrified. She exclaimed (I believe rhetorically), "Oh I'm so sorry! Why do they do that!!!" I just smiled,
"Umm...are your dogs intact?" (knowing full well they are).
"Yes," she answers.
"Yeah, they will tend to mark and claim territory more when they're like that. Do you have that problem with them in the house?"
"Oh, I didn't know that. And no, I've never had a problem with them in the house. Only outside. I'm really sorry."
"It's alright, have a nice day."
I could only smile and go about the start of my day.
Needless to say, Ichi was curious about the smell of the back of my leg the rest of the 100ft home.

In many cases males are very excited to meet another new male and the result can be a pissing war. During the introduction excitement, whatever object is nearest will get a squirt. In some cases they will mark and remark on the same area for a 10 or 15 min time frame or until they run out. When all settles and things are more familiar then the activity usually reduces somewhat. It depends on the individual dogs.
In fact for newly introduced dogs in our home we place a belly band on males (neutered and/or intact) so that there isn't a need to mark the first object or corner and my dogs to remark over. Getting urine out is a nightmare so it is way easier to prevent it than to worry about the need to clean up.

Sophie does the opposite... if theres an intact male she always stands underneath that pissing guy (if he is big enough)..dont know why but its always funny...and smelly...:)
Keepin' the dirty thougths to myself, but Sophie sounds like a freak. lolol.
Thank goodness I haven't been peed on, but there's a long haired Chihauha who goes to my vet, he's 1 now, and everytime I go there he's there for some reason. This little sh*t marks everything. He tried to pee on Koda but I snatched him up quickly. Then he peed on the chair legs, scale, and front desk. I said the same thing to his owner about neutering. The guy laughed and said he was small so he ran out of pee a lot. Like this made it ok to piss on everything until he ran out. I can't stand that guy.
I was watching tv with Tom at my mom's house and Tom felt a warm spot on the back of his neck. He turned to look and was staring at a cats butt. Apparently, one of my sisters had brought in one of the outside cats, and he decided to mark Tom's neck. He smelt like cat piss for a week.
Although mine was in the middle of the night and there was a LOT of it lol!
Oh, and Hachi (spayed female) has peed on Tsuki (spayed female) so many times I lost count.. its kind of crazy.
