I was so glad to see this thread!!! I was looking for something else when I came across it.
Ginger does the same thing and here I was thinking she must be itchy or something. How glad I am that I found this thread where you all are talking about your furbabies doing this. I was giving Ginger a firm "no" when she does this but I will stop doing that from now on!! I think it really has to do with putting their scent back on things b/c after I vacuum the couch, loveseat, and chairs, Ginger goes crazy rubbing herself on everything!! When she gets home from the groomer, she does this and I thought she was trying to get her bow out of her hair!! I am really laughing about this now as this thread made me realize that she does it whether or not she has a bow or her harness on!! Thanks for the great entries from each of you!!
