So, my sweetie pea Zoey loves to run around outside in the park. She has previously had maybe 2-3 times where she will sniff a particular area of grass, then all of a sudden roll over and rub her back all over that spot of grass. The other day, she was walking (unfortunately all the way at the end of her extendable leash), and I see her roll over and start rolling again. I tell her no, and head toward her, but this time, she is frantic and determined to roll, roll, roll. Now for the icky part: When I get to her, I see that she is COATED in something brown, mushy, and stinky (POOP!)! UGH!!! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! The worst part is that whenever we go outside, she keeps heading toward that one area! (once, my boyfriend was walking her and didn't know exactly where this spot was, and Zoey rolled in it again!) It was horrible, and took an extra long soak to make sure she came out fresh afterward.

Anyone know why she's doing this? Anyone know how to stop it?
