My guys do that constantly, except they roll in the lawn/grass, given that "floral" scent, is predominant where I take them to hunt (along a near Bayou). It would be a little difficult to get one to stop that action, given that there's no counter action you can point out and praise.

That's it...I knew it had to do with scent, and deleted that ambiguity ("has to do with scent") out of my previous post because I just couldn't remember the details and was not thinking of prey drive...and you'd think I would...doggone my Etch-A-Sketch brain...lol. Thanks for refreshing that in my mind.

I had a 'natural huntress' Shep/Lab who rolled all the time in the grass and fortunately LOVED baths and would jump in nightly with the kids. lol She brought me every furry rodent that she could touch, even when she was on a spiked choker collar and steel cable run, and was relentless chasing squirrels across the yard as they ran along the power lines above and tormented and teased her. lol

It is entirely possible your little girl is a huntress, too...but maybe she will chill on the pee rolling anyway.
