well... I have found out that a male dog as he gets older - I don't know if its an intact male thing or not - holds an infinite amount of urine for outside 'marking' and peeing. He would probably get by with one pee in the morning, but at lunch he will fire hose about every tree in the neighborhood. Just when you think he squeezed out the last drop - oh, that favorite sign post - more pee.
But anyway, for the younger ones, better safe than sorry - two pees in the morning, the last one right before crating up.
And don't feel bad or guilty about leaving for the two stretches during the day. They just sleep or whatever and your anxiety can make them anxious about it.
