: While dogsitting my femaleJRT's brother at day 2, and while chilling out on the couch, he jumped on my lap, licked my face and then peed all over me a lot. Cursing as I went upstairs to quickly change clothing, he followed and when I stood still gettting some shorts out, he straddled my foot and peed on me again...a lot. I could not attribute this behavior to anything going on at the time at all and don't know wether I should be honored or angered by it. He has free access to the fenced in back yard and had returned from a walk 30 minutes prior. He seems to have a great time in my household.
