Having a dog pee on you is probably the last thing anyone wants. I know it sounds gross, but it can happen. A few years ago, something weird happened to me that I still remember vividly.
One day, I was sitting on a bench reading a book. I wasn’t paying attention to my surroundings. Suddenly, I felt a dog peeing on my leg. An old lady was walking her dog on a super long leash and couldn’t stop him in time. I didn’t think much of it since I knew accidents can happen.
However, a few months later, while visiting a music festival in Bulgaria with a good friend, something crazy happened again. As I was walking back to my apartment in the evening, a dog approached me. My friend warned me to ignore the stray dogs there since they may be angry. I froze in fear, scared for my life. But the dog just came up to me, smelled me, and then, you guessed it – peed on me again! When I got home and showered, I sat on the couch thinking about how nuts it was that this had happened to me twice so close together. It took my breath away.
Could It Be A Sign?
In 2018, when this happened, I was going through some kind of spiritual awakening. Or perhaps I was really just exhausted. One day I realized that many people in my life really just used me and sucked on my energy. I also realized that I had no boundaries – I was always there to help others, but they actually never helped me. And saying no? It was almost impossible for me. Essentially, I realized I never helped myself first.
As I was thinking about those times when dogs would pee on me, it came to my mind. “They peed on you because you have to set boundaries!” It wasn’t a logical idea, more like an intuitive thought that just popped into my head when I was thinking about the dogs. And it really hit me – yes, I have to set some boundaries.
When you think about it, dogs mark their territories by peeing on things. When they pee on something, they’re saying, “I was here; this is my territory.” it’s kind of like their way of saying hello to other dogs. So, from a spiritual perspective, when a dog pees on you, it could be a sign that you should set your boundaries and know your limits.
The Symbolism
Now, when we think about the symbolism here, it gets pretty interesting. Pee can represent the need to “cleanse or detoxify your life” in a way. But dogs, on the other hand, are symbols of friendship and close bonds between people.
We all know that dogs are often considered man’s best friend for a reason. So when you combine these two symbols, it seems like it could be telling you that you need to establish some boundaries, whether that’s with a friend, a family member, or a partner.
The dog peed on you like it was saying, “Look, I’m your best buddy, but I still peed on you. So set some limits.” It’s like the dog is trying to remind you that even though you’re close, you still need to look out for yourself sometimes. You can love someone and let them in your life, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have rules for how they treat you.
Final Words
This was my experience that may sound gross but it really taught me an important lesson. Even if someone is really close to you, you still need to set healthy limits and take care of yourself first. And you know what? Ever since I started doing that, my life has changed for the better.
