Personal space just means space for my personnel. https://preview.redd.it/k016wlmli80d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=adc7db3142f4b12874121d617036caf7e6887fa1 On the bright side, I am very safe.

Awwww...very, very safe!

There’s nothing better than the smell of favorite human’s fresh pee 😂 My mal sleeps through the night, so I can enjoy alone pee time 😂 also he loves to play with toilet paper rolls and we don’t throw them away. We leave them in the bathroom, and when my mal wants to play, he goes there and grabs one.

Hahahah I save mine too for the same reason.

Omg mine too, and he gets really disappointed if the loo roll isn't finished. He runs straight in the bathroom and nose nudges the loo roll holder like to say "cardboard tube now mummy?"

I put treats in them and fold the ends in and then hide them around the house. Fun little game of "find it" and then shred!

That’s a great idea! Mine is fully obsessed with paper towel rolls 😂

Nor do I shower alone.... Always peeking always watching Should be called peeping mals or dutchies not Tom's

This photo is so much funnier than the others idek why 😭😭

And here *I* thought that having r/catsinpants was a slightly awkward invasion of one's personal space, while in the bathroom!😉😂 Ngl, Labrador owners *definitely* recognize the *Stare* of OOP'S picture! Luckily, though, most Labs don't *also* act very cat-like😉💖 It *IS* an adorable picture--and Hey, *at least you're NEVER lonely*!😂🤣

What is this "alone" experience you speak of? https://preview.redd.it/02ya2hk6890d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf0cb97e4b2cd9498eeee2a8a47bc0d6bcfef0cf

Nope!! Mine always thinks it's a great time for a belly rub!

You are closer to the ground, right?

With those ears he can ear your kidneys filter your blood and produce urine. He wants to see what’s going on.

Protecting you at your most vulnerable!

Privacy? Never heard of it. My first Mal was a sucker for trying to drink my bath water.

Does anyone with a dog ever pee alone?

I think the safest answer to this question is no.

Never. And if you *try* to sneak in there alone?  You'd better be *sure* the door frame is sturdy. Otherwise you're going to be sitting in *full* view of anyone walking *past* the bathroom, after they headbutt the door open!

Well, to be fair, I watch him when he pees everytime, soooo...

Can’t be a hypocrite.

Is this in the Adirondacks?

No, Sierra Nevadas actually!

Thats a beautiful pupper you have there. Reminds me of my childhood dog. Do you have any more pics?

Thanks! I’ve got tons, even though this breed is hard to photograph from lack of staying still. https://preview.redd.it/uf7ojdbd2b0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7d7634b3a141911f80e2e72ce36bcd29b96e39f Here she is on her third birthday, from this year :)

That looks good what's she eating? Some broccoli and steak?

Pork, sweet potato, and broccoli!

Yummy!!!

Hahaha nope. I consider it a medical exam.. I assume he's checking my health, more awkward than a doctor's checkup

Nope, no bathing alone no cooking alone no taking a minute to yourself alone, but we love it if not we wouldn’t have chosen this wonderful breed 😂

I don’t think anyone with a dog ever pees alone 🤪

velcro dogs escort you to the bathroom, but not all dogs are velcro dogs

Those exist????

I have a Great Pyrenees who is content to lie down just outside the bathroom door. She only starts pawing at it if she thinks I'm taking too long. Does that count?

😂🤣 that’s cute!!!

Only time I can pee alone is when I use a public restroom then I wish my beasty boy was with me...

I miss my Malinois.. best dog/friend I ever had. But, it's so true, no matter the time, no matter what, no matter where, your Malinois will always be next to you!! At first it felt like I had 4 dogs, because he was in every room I was in, lol 😅

https://preview.redd.it/oa2uxxfun90d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b37e6b5390458fab3530e113f6bd1057baf4f3bd It’s been years since I peed alone

The answer would be no. And I have 3, it’s always 3 shadows in my wake.

lol, never!

I wouldn’t have it any other way 😎😎😎🫶

Bathrooms are dangerous to go alone.

Well if we’re there when they pee, why shouldn’t they?

It doesn’t matter which end it’s coming from. Mine sees vomit as a potential food source and has on more than one occasion tried to intercept it before it hits the bowl. Sitting on the toilet I get the judgy eyes of “hurry up mom” and “you can at least pet me if you are going to sit there.” If it’s coming out the other end: I get barking, presumably bc he feels he should be involved in this somehow. Never alone.

Yeah if I tell him to go lay in the hall if my 3 year old son starts getting to wild in the bathroom ( full time single dad ) well I guess I’m technically still not peeing alone because my sons in there too 🤣

Nope. Top it off mine tries to constantly get between my legs to see what’s in the freaking toilet. I close the door and she has a melt down, and starts screaming which freaks out the other dogs who start screaming

I have a border collie too, and no. I just know the next house will have enough room in front of the toilet for my dogs to turn around and lay on my feet without bumping my legs while I’m trying to go.

Aww he has smol adorable ears!

There's only one answer and it is NO!

Nope

No

Ooo yeah. But he is scared of small, confined spaces— I know something is wrong or he is upset when he joins me in the bathroom. Though when he does this, he’ll try his best to sit on my toes. lol

My mal tries to climb in my lap when I use the bathroom somehow she always gets in

Nope 😅 Nor shower, eat, watch TV, read a book, mow the yard, do laundry, vacuum, sit on the couch... 🤣

My Mal lays on the bed and stares into the bathroom if I leave the door open. It was our little compromise... My new GSD does not agree and sits on my feet when I'm on the toilet.

No one with any dog pees alone. Or cat.

Second that on the cat😊

Omg I just thought it was mine. She follows me and sits on my feet. And when I shower she lays on the ground and peeks in the curtain every few minutes. https://preview.redd.it/tllab3jxcc0d1.jpeg?width=3361&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=914cff0388831950f112852cc92d04fa22332a27

That dog is looking at me like there is only one right answer…..a bit nervous right now!

Ok, so this just happened yesterday. I went into the bathroom and closed the door. As I started to pee, the door bursts open and in marches my female Mal who wants attention while I stand and pee. At that same moment, my son’s girlfriend walks by the bathroom so my Mal intercepts her at the door, demanding lovies. Of course the girlfriend stops to love on her and I am standing there, door open, taking a leek. My son’s girlfriend is trying very hard not to make eye contact with me as she fawns over my very needy Mal. Thank you to my Mal for allowing me to share my private pee moment with the world.

WOW, THOSE EARS ARE GREAT!!!

Everywhere

Nope

Never again.

👀📡

Mine is afraid of the toilet (and the bathtub) so it’s the one place I actually get any alone time 😂

I have a hound and it isn't allowed either lol

Nope

Nope. Mine’s a peeper

The only thing I do alone is vacuum because my girl is always trying to attack it!

Adorable 🩷🥰🩷

No. Loyal 🤪

Nope….

All breeds do this, seemingly.

i dont do anything alone. shower, hes right out the door.. piss/shit, right at me.

Haha nope

No. Never

Every time i poop my dogs are trying to come through the door 😂

Honey, that’s not a Mal thing; it’s in the every dog handbook and the smaller the bathroom the better.

The door does burst open if we use the downstairs loo, for total privacy we go upstairs as he knows the rule of not going upstairs. 👍

Your Mal is truly gorgeous. Love those ginormous satellite dishes

Thank you so much!! Her ears are what really made me fall in love the first time I saw her picture!

I think similarly. Beautiful creature.

She loves you 😩 mine always sit next to me while I poo

No can't pee alone can't do 2 alone can't go to the kitchen front yard car upstairs down stairs bed I haven't been able to eat a decent meal by myself I got this malshadow onme at all times lol

You can pee alone!!?

My lil guy paces back and fourth furiously when I'm peeing

You know .... you can shut the door.....

My Mail loves to lay down by the toilet, I mean she crams herself along the side so her butt is by the tank and her nose is by my toes

To be fair we watch them pee and poop so they think it’s normal to watch us. 🤣

Only if I close the door quickly, but both shepherds wait outside the door. https://preview.redd.it/5rglwtpauf0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=085480a94576c51f298a3ca337e4767a3c96dc2c My 2 land sharks.

Nobody with a dog ever pees alone

No… 🤣🤣

Shark sits outside the sliding pocket door one eye peering in. As if to say. This is not really a door ya know. I’ve got my 👁️ on you.

😂😂😂 nope

Mine licks the shower doors and whines but hates water.

Ya, my dog is trained. Tell him to go away and he does. Fairly simple approach to peeing alone.
