So, my boyfriend and I got our two new little ones about two and a half weeks ago. The last few nights we have been sitting with them in the bathroom letting them get used to running on us and such. Now, the first night, my boyfriend was wearing basketball shorts and Harley decided to sit in them under his leg. Derek thought it was cute but then he realized that Harley peed in them! Then, last night while I was at work Derek sat with them and Harley was sitting on his foot (he was wearing socks) and Derek realized that Harley peed on his sock! Now I know he's young and I figure it's not a big deal, but Derek insisted I ask the experts to make sure nothing's wrong? Is he maybe trying to "mark" Derek? :neener: What do you guys think!
 
I think that maybe the little chinnie just needed to go! That happens sometimes and they just can't hold it anymore. Are your little chins just babies? Maybe 3 months old or so.

If they're older, I don't know why Harley would do that! I'd worry a bit about it if he seems to be leaking, but it just sounds like he is urinating in one spot. Normally they don't mark anything.

When I let the babies out and leave them out too long they will urinate on the floor, the adults rarely do. Although, I did have an adult male out for about 40 minutes and he peed on the carpet as I was watching...
 
I think Harley has found his new favorite potty spot! Tell Derek he should be happy that he'll have one less cage to clean :hilarious:
 
When I let my boy play for an hour or more in the bathroom, he will almost always go pee in a corner of the bathtub. Which really is probably the BEST place he could pee, so it's ok, I just find it funny how he backs up into the corner like a tiny truck and pees. Usually if a playtime is 30-45 min or so he will not pee at all. Edit: my bf's name is Derek too, I just wanted to add! :D
 
Haha my darling boy does that too! usually if his play time goes over 40 min, you will find him peeing at one corner! =)
 
Mine have peed on me as well, I never thought there was anything wrong with them, sometimes they just need to go! They don't care really where they are when they go, it's not like a dog.
 
A few weeks ago I took out a little rescue boy, who is darling and sweet and good. I was showing him to a prospective new owner. I said something like, "He's so good, I don't know why he's so good...at his last home blah blah blah...." At that point he beep beep beep backed up on my arm and wizzed all over the front of me. We laughed, but I felt like he planned it a little. :D

On a happier note...Big Daddy went to his new home yesterday without pee peeing on anyone the entire time. :D hehehe
 
hahah okay thanks everyone! I figured it was just because he simply had to pee! but Derek wanted to make sure he's alright. And Susan, he is only about 3 months old. and a sweetie at that :thumbsup: I guess I should also be happy that Harley always goes over to Derek when he has to go and not mommy! :hilarious:
