Directional Poop
Pointer Dogs: Pups Poop Along North-South Magnetic Lines
By Marc Lallanilla, Assistant Editor | January 03, 2014 04:12pm ET
Dog owners have observed some odd behaviors among their pets — sniffing butts, eating garbage, giving unconditional love — but one habit has probably escaped their attention: Dogs apparently prefer to poop while aligned with the north-south axis of the Earth's magnetic field.
That's the surprising conclusion of an exhaustive study, conducted by German and Czech researchers, who spent two years watching 70 dogs while they defecated and urinated thousands of times. The scientists then compared the dogs' behavior and orientation with the geomagnetic conditions prevailing at the time.
The researchers found that the dogs preferred to poop when their bodies were aligned in a north-south direction, as determined by the geomagnetic field. (True north, which is determined by the position of the poles, is slightly different from magnetic north.) [10 Things You Didn't Know About Dogs]

Desi crapped East through a chainlink fence yesterday. But yes, he often faces north or south when pooping.

Since Delia and I are still working on the housebreaking, I have noticed that yes, she does poop while facing either north or south. She's actually pretty housebroken on the poop thing-she has accidents when it's really cold and neither one of us wants to go out, but she does it on the tile now, instead of the carpet.
She pees wherever and whenever she wants to, though, preferably on the carpet. She just doesn't care.
