In the novel ‘The Hot Rock’ by Donald Westlake, the crooks plan their capers in a crummy bar. The toilets are marked ‘Pointers’ and ‘Setters.’ It took me far too long to figure out that joke.
That is clever! However, “woke” restrooms would have both symbols. And, in fairness, my last male dog squatted – he had an older, dominant sister (we adopted them both at the same time as puppies) and she “taught” him how to eliminate liquid waste….
Yeah, yeah… I get the joke. But seriously, most dogs – both male and female – squat to pee. Males usually only lift their leg when they’re marking their territory.

Time to switch the signs

I have seen M & W restroom signs featuring dogs in bars. Maybe the dog’s signs should feature humans. Just sayin’.

We had a little dog. It would do “handstands” to pee. Where’s the sign for that? I assume that would be the handicapped bathroom.

A dear, departed friend had a small dog that had a habit of walking around the house on his hind legs, for no reason. I found it disturbing!!

Those doors look like they could be for No. 1 or No. 2 more than male or female.

I can’t believe the number of people here who have never watched the way a dog hunches over to eliminate — um — solid waste.

My female dog sometimes lifts her leg and I had a male that would squat occasionally.
