I don't know if all Yorkie/Maltese do this or if Belle is just odd

When she pees on her pad or even outside in the summer she lifts one back leg. When she's done she has to check out what she did and circle it about 3 times. I think sometimes they live in their own "speical" little worlds. I give Belle a biscut and she takes it to her bed or to a blanket or pillow and lays it down and proceeds to push pretend dirt over it to bury it, then packs it down. Sometimes she does this and my DH will say "I can still see it Belle" Then she has to dig it up and bury it somewhere else! We just kind of try not to look as long as we are not suppose to see it, but her Lab brother doesn't play along, he walks over and eats it and she runs to me like "how did he know it was there?" Really cute

Chloe does the kick thing too after using the pad, Fiona always shakes her head making this ear flop sound every time after using the pad

Jack does the kicking after he goes as well. Every time he does it we say 'good boy, wipe your paws' I'm hoping we can get him to do in on command soon on the mat before he goes into the house!

It sure looks like it when they do it but unfortuanely, we're not that lucky.
