Daffy Duck
Jam, the dog who loves too much, tends to look at the world as his oyster. It's all his. Every last bit of it. Consequently, he pees on a great deal of it.He reminds me in many ways of Daffy Duck, a character who also was concerned with owning everything. This scene is from one of my favorite cartoons with Bugs and Daffy.
Jam and Establishing Ownership
So, back to the peeing. Jam generally pees on lots of items. Sometimes this means walking into a new home and taking possession of the best pillow, the one previously owned by the small male dog in the house. Method: Pee on the pillow.
Meet a new friend? Why not pee on their head? Guaranteed to let the neighborhood know whose friend they are. Jam's friend!
Where Shopping Is a Pleasure
My favorite place to shop is Publix, so of course I went to the Publix Paws booth to sign up for Publix Paws at Walkathon!! And I took Jammy with me while I signed up. Jam was quietly sniffing the banner and sizing up the tote bag and the two water dishes that they were giving me (two dishes because Publix rocks!) and then Jam had a brilliant idea. Why not own Publix? Why not become a part of Publix Paws? Really get into it? Make it his program?
Wait for it...
So, he peed on their sign. In front of them. Standing next to me. While I was obliviously filling out my form. That is until I looked up to see the wide open, staring eyes of Publix employees locked onto Jam.
I turned to catch him shake it off, so to speak, and lower his leg. Quite pleased with his aim as it hit the paw print right on the money and kinda blended in with the cornflower yellow of the banner.
I could only think that "Wow. I'm glad that banner is water proof, um, pee proof, and all the pee is beading up and running off it."
"Bye! Love Publix!" I grabbed my tote and yanked Jam away from the booth.

Despite the peeing, Jam is very grateful to Publix for all the treats and toys he will be getting in the near future from the Publix Paws program coupons. He's hoping to pee on the toys.
