| Is this strange? My puppy likes to turn around and put her bum up against our legs? Is this normal? I don't mind it, it doesn't hurt anyone in any way its just kind of funny. She's not sitting on our foot or anything she just simply backs her cute little tush so that its against our ankle or leg and leaves it there for a few seconds then moves away and does it again. I've heard this is a sign of submission but I'm not sure, and i figured you guys would know since you're the best hehe

| That's cute. Daisy likes to sleep with her little bum touching my arm or shoulder or something. I always thought she was doing it so she can tell if you are getting ready to get up and leave her. Maybe it's something like that, maybe she feels secure. It's cute though.

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | That sounds so cute! Our cat used to do that when we had one. Katie Scarlett seems want to curl up next to me with her bum facing me when she sleeps during the day on the floor or on the couch (depending where I am). Maybe she is trying to keep her booty warm? Tee hee!

| My late Sahyleigh used to do that, except she would sit on my foot. It was just so very cute.

Yes, very normal!! Harry does this when he wants to be picked up...or if he knows we're going out!! He keeps reversing (sometimes with his back slightly 'curled') until whatever he thinks is going to happen - happens!! Tee hee! Brilliant, aren't they! Sally + Harry x | |

Senior Yorkie Talker | When my Nicky was younger, he used to do that... I thought it was cute too, how he could walk backward toward me just as good as he could walk forward lol. I think it is a puppy thing cause Nicky is now 3 and he doesn't do that anymore, but he does LOVE to walk backward to get to my feet to lay on them. Nicky has turned into a feet lover... lol he loves to lay on, lick and just be by feet, especially mine. A few other people have asked me why he does that, I always say that he just likes feet. It doesn't bother me I am used to it.

| My Rosie does that some times, but mainly what she does is hump my dads leg when he is playing with our other yorkie Nico! It is pretty comical to see! |
