Dig, pee, cover....dig, pee, cover

A couple of weeks ago, Buster started digging in his "designated hole," peeing in the freshly dug dirt, then covering it by pushing dirt back over it with his nose. How weird? This dog is 8 years old. I have never seen him do anything like this before, except for burying the occasional biscuit or toy. Any ideas?

LOL - you don't have a cat he might be emulating?

Ha!Ha! No, no cat. All I can think of is that the other male might have found himself a cool spot there and Buster didn't like it!
