Hes burning out! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

fabioadams · 11-13-2007, 06:00 PM

I am really concerned. Lately fabio had been sort of "burning out" with his back legs on the floor. He just does it randomly, like hes trying to kick something with his back legs. I know he does this whenever he finishes going to the bathroom, like hes trying to cover it up. But he has never just done it because. Is this something I should be concerned with? Or is he playing or something?

Jake does that when he's throwing a temper tantrum lol. He will kick up his back legs, then his front. I think it's funny! It's a yorkie thing, don't worry about it.

And, Jake also does this after going to the bathroom. Just like you said, he's "covering it up". Sometimes he will also hide a toy by digging an imaginary hole and then covering it up. Too funny.

Yea it sorta makes me laugh, which I feel bad about cause I am worried that it is something bothering him on his legs!

MrsWiseguy · 11-13-2007, 06:16 PM

My boys do it, too. Is it a male dominance thing? You know males and their dominance issues.

PS - LOOOOOOOOOVE that your dog's name is Fabio!

thanks so much! I was worried people would think his name was weird, but I loved it!

It might be a dominace thing, but hes never done it before (cept when hes pooing of course, which cracks me up!) But I am not sure

I bet since he does it after going to the bathroom, he's just "covering it up".

My yorkie ALL do this...my boyfriend thinks it's so funny!

fabioadams · 11-13-2007, 06:37 PM

Yea it is funny, I just hope there isnt anything wrong. I was thinking maybe the hair between his paws is just too long or something

EmrldShdwQueen · 11-13-2007, 06:38 PM

Nah, I don't think there's anything wrong...he's just playing around...

Pixie does it all the time when she gets mad at one of the other dogs. It is so funy she goes crazy. We call it her moon walking. My husband said get that on tape!

fabioadams · 11-13-2007, 06:41 PM

Yea I want to record it one time, but its so sparadic!

YorkieShadow · 11-13-2007, 06:42 PM

Mine do it to, after they have went to the bath room.

Connie · 11-13-2007, 06:46 PM

Mine do it also. I call it the donkey kick! Maddie mostly does it after a bath or trying to get attention, or when she gets mad at Libby. Libby just recently started doing that after she goes potty. I love the donkey kick!

fabioadams · 11-13-2007, 06:47 PM

Thank goodness! I was so worried something was wrong with him! Thanks guys!

erino77 · 11-13-2007, 09:16 PM

lol! just the thought it seeing all them do this makes me laugh

Koda did it for the first time last night. He was so ticked at me for washing his face off with soap and water cause he grabbed my butter rum lifesavers and was tearing them apart. He was a sticky mess and ready for bed so I didn't want to give him a full bath. so we washed up and he ran around kicking like a fool for about 10 minutes then went to bed
