Don't think I am totally dumb but...

besides dogs, what other animals lift their leg to pee? I have been wondering for a few days now and since the question is still lingering I thought I'd ask.  :)

Interesting question...
 I would think all in the canine family would.
Cats big or small do/can not lift.
No hoofed creatures that I know of do.
Primates no..Rodents no..birds no...
Wonder about Bears??

Now I will have to go searching to see if I can find any others who do.

well , found out that panda bears will sometime lift up a leg so they can do scent marks a little easier (sometimes headstands haha)

"The leg-cock, a higher order position usually reserved for males, looks much like a reverse but the bear lifts one hind leg off the ground to get the gland even higher on the tree"

Haha...Bear would have a broken neck if that was the case cuz he is so clumsy. Thanks for not making my question sound so dumb guys! You are so awesome.
