| Since you brought it up...our male was rubbing on the grass a few weeks ago and I walked over to see what he was doing, and he was rollong on a dead frog. I asked him what he was doing....and all he did was look at me like I was crazy!! Why do dogs to this yucky behavior??

| Sissy rubs something on her neck when she is outside (not poop) and it has a really strange smell. I have often wonder what it is?

| My boys do it too, They are partial to worms on the concrete after a spring rain. (that could be a new yankee candle fragrance) LOVE the title, bug rubber..... I hate to admit it, but I was intrigued!!

YT 500 Club Member | We have a door at the building where I work that does not fit tightly on the bottom. Whenever it rains, we get about 50 worms that crawl under the door. Of course when they get it, they die and dry out. If I take my baby with me when I go there after a rain, she loves to roll on the dead, dry worms.

| Sammy does it a LOT. Loki has only done it a few times on worms on the sidewalk. I have no clue why they do it, but I'd sure like to know. They go outside more than a dozen times a day and with all the bugs out right now I feel bad telling them to stop - they sure look like they are having fun.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Simple Yorkie Rule. The worse it smells the more fun to roll in. |

| So that's what Max is doing when he rubs his little body around in grass! He just loves it. I thought he was enjoying the feeling of the grass. Now I know the truth - he just wants to smell sexy in Bug Rubber, the latest Yorkie cologne. He's just too sexy for his coat.
