YT Addict | Bathing behavior and toenails (separate questions) I have Lolli her first bath, and when I got her out the tub and toweled her off and was about to sit down to brush her out, all the sudden shes rubbing herself all over the carpet and back and forth across the wall. She didn't seem to be 'itching', but I just figured it that she hated her hair being wet. Is this the case or is this a symptom of something else?? Her skin wasn't red or anything at all until she rubbed on the carpet so I don't think it was a skin irritation. There were no bumps or anything. Also, a separate unrelated question.. I don't know the proper name for the 'toe' on the back of the paw/lower leg, but she seems to have a claw that grows from it. I never really seen this in other dogs before, so is this just a common thing that some dogs get a claw and others don't? Also, the skin is so thin that holds the claw at first I thought it was just a loose claw that was matted into a bit of hair but it really is a claw. There is one on both back paws, I don't think there are any on the front. I was just wondering if anyone could give a bit of information on this and how I could clip a claw that is so wobbley and loose like that I'm afraid that trying to clip it will rip it off the skin.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Max loves to roll and rub against the towel on the floor ( i don't have carpet) or runs to his beds and does the same thing, I need to be careful and not to let him out otherwise he will roll on the grass.it is a normal behavior. As far as the claw you were referring to is called dew claw, many breeders have them removed when puppies are just a few days old, my Max never had it removed and for the second time he has gotten hurt. Good luck with your new baby!

| Sounds like she's got a case of the zoomies! LOL. Most dogs that I've known, after a bath... they go running thru the house like crazy. Jackson does this. He gets out of the bath and zooms back and forth throughout the house, rubbing against the floor, the couch, everything, haha! He just prefers to be dirty, I guess Here's a video I found on YouTube: Ha!

YT Addict | Ommgggg hahaha that is soo funny, that is exactly what my little one does, Britster! That is a great video lol. She rubbed and shook over and over just like that, only she was also rubbing against the wall in the hall way back and forth, too! Hahaha Maxmom, thanks for the info on that claw. It explains a lot!
