1. That's called the rainbow technique.

2. I wouldn't have thought it possible for a pug to do that,

but then the one we had was female.

3. I do not know why but

this reminds me that all of the male dogs I have had never lifted their legs to pee. They did this stretch and peed. It was my Beagle who I laughed at. When he was done he would very careful make sure he was not going to even come close to stepping onto the spot where he had peed. He would lift one leg up high and to the side and forward putting his foot right behind his front leg and then do this over with his other leg with this cute hop forward.

4. Oh no

Next we will have the Rainbow Challenge burning up the inter Web and pissing people off 😬

17. I hear it is better to be pissed off than pissed on...

18. An better to be a smart ass than a dumb ass 😉

5. Meh, I can do better

7. That's hilarious!

I have spent time around a lot of dogs, but I have never seen that before! Very talented little pup!

8. A skunk in Niwot ran at me at full speed

in a similar position.

10. Number one: Niwot has grown a lot in the last five years, FYI

It's basically another subdivision in Boulder City now. No longer is it just a few shops and a dozen houses. And you should see the housing prices! They reflect the fact that Niwot is a part of Boulder.

Number two: Are you sure you saw a two wheel drive skunk? They are pretty rare around here.

11. No doubt.

That thing is indelibly imprinted on my mind. Yes, I turned and "ran" as fast as possible.

12. Has it merged with Gunbarrel? n/t

[ProudLib72]

13. No, it hasn't merged with Gunbarrel

You've got the IBM facility and a big road in between. However, in saying that, Gunbarrel has grown exponentially. They've added a lot of apartments/condos, and there is a "downtown" with all sorts of businesses.

The crazy thing is, when I was 16-17 I remember I was going on a date with this girl. I called her up to find out where she lived. She told me "Jay Rd." Now I had been around Boulder for years and never heard of this "Jay Rd." What was that? When I drove down Jay Rd, I felt like I was way out in the country.

So, north Boulder has grown a lot. That first took off fifteen years ago. Then it was Longmont and Niwot. I think Boulder reached its maximum population density a decade or so ago. Land is at a premium only equaled by certain places in CA. My dad has a friend who owned a crappy little shack in Boulder. We are talking something that would have been $50K in the early 80s. He sold the thing last year for over a million. And the shack wasn't what mattered. It was the land. Raze the shack and you've got 1/8th of an acre of prime real estate!

I'm telling you, Harker, the front range is getting crazy with its housing shortage.

15. I lived in Gunbarrel from '68

through '71 before my family moved to south Boulder.

I graduated from Fairview High in '77. In fact, I was high most all the time then.

Soaring home and land values had an upside and a downside for us.

Oddly, the most recent issue of "Birds and Blooms" suggested hanging sparkly, fluttery objects to discourage woodpeckers from housepecking. Had to laugh a little. Sorry.

[ProudLib72]

16. Uh oh, my neice goes to Boulder High, so we must be sworn enemies!

About those fluttery objects. I bought two of those rainbow colored swirly in the wind things to discourage the flickers and nuthatches. That seemed to work for all of a week before they figured it out.

19. Nah.

I lack 'school spirit.'

[PETRUS]

9. !!!!

I had a Jack Russell that sometimes did a handstand to pee - I had never seen that before (or - until your post - since).

[Laffy Kat]

6. Thanks a lot, guys. I just spewed coffee all over my laptop.

14. I can clean the toilet bowl with my powerful urine stream.
