My neighbor keeps three medium Beagles (米格魯). I often see them hanging around outside or lying on the ground to tan. They always take action and play together. My mother says that they are smart because they can pass the street, walk to the park and pee. Then, they walk home by themselves. I really envy my neighbor has those three clever dogs. In fact, my younger brother, sisters and I are lazy to take Dodo for a walk to pee. We often shirk the errand and order one of us to do it. One reason is our laziness. Another one is that Dodo often spends much time peeing. The other one is that we need to bring his droppings home.

Dogs divide their own territories by their urine and Dodo is not an exception. As a result, he has to pee in different targets at park to secure his territory, such as trees, handrails or streetlights. The waiting is endless because he happily runs everywhere. However, it is his nature and physical needs so you cannot ask him to stop. What you only need to do is wait. I often read newspapers which are going for wrapping Dodo’s droppings.
