This is the tree that has survived years of squatters. Little squatters, big squatters, and in between squatters, all four legged. Why do they all run for the little tree when there are thirty other trees and grass areas and fields around here? I live in a building that allows dogs and when the front door opens for poddie runs they all run down the sidewalk, around the side of the building, to the edge of the lot, to the little tree! I thought of placing a little sign that said, "Squatter's Rights, Full House, No Vacancy," but I knew they'd pee on my sign so I stopped that imaginary thought. Anyway what right do I have to interfere with their scent wars. If I had to give a layman's explanation of this, I would say its every dog peeing on the other dogs pee to maintain whose got the territorial rights to that corner of the world. The only corner of the outside world they have to work with. Otherwise, sadly for some its crates and carpet. eewww.. I see there little and big faces peering needfully out their apartment windows when I come home. Glad we humans don't do that tree thing, I guess we do just in different ways, we just fight, bully, lie, cheat, use money and whatever, to up the other one .... not me of course...but many humans do. Maybe we should start peeing on trees instead. Would make for less wars and bloodshed. I cant believe that little tree continues to maintain its existence for all the attention. Humm maybe its the attention that keeps it thriving after all.
