So, the question comes up with the expression “It’s Marking It’s Spot”.
Does an animal really consciously mark it’s spot as a message to others that it’s been there
or is it just that they’ve found it to be a convenient and possibly private place to go
and it’s us who project the idea of it being a more cerebral, conscious and calculated choice or decision
onto animals , overthinking things as we tend to do,
and what if some animals are more cerebral and conscious in their choice of where to go,
while others of the same species are not , and like homo-sapiens
and whether or not the conscious choice is made, or the action just takes place organically,
is an indication that , some dogs are smarter and use their brains more than others 🙂 LOL
