@rit that is funny of course, but it's also a way dogs communicate for real. Peeing on something means they want to stay there, so perhaps Otter isn't digging the dog hotel? When we got Dottie, once she settled in she peed in the house a couple of times when we had visitors, right in front of them (Petey and Pepper too). It was an indication that she (and they) really wanted to stay in their new home
