| What does this mean? Bilbo has started scratching his back feet like a bull getting ready to charge or like he is trying to bury his waste. It usually happens when he is playing or wants someone to play with him. |

| Murphy does the exact same thing when he's in the mood to play. He's the only one who does it and I think it's sooooo cute! I'll stop whatever I'm doing to watch him. I don't think it means anything, other than that he's feeling playful.

| I think it's hilarious--such a tiny puppy acting like he's all bad. I've seen dogs do that after they potty, but never just because. |

| I hadn't either before Murphy. It is so funny to watch my tiny little boy get all revved up. He looks exactly like a bull getting ready to charge!

| Rio does the same thing when she wants to play, or wants our attention. Cracks me up! |

| Two of my females do it! I believe it is a territorial thing.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Roxy just started doing this at times. It had been awhile since she had been out to potty, so it wasn't connected to that. We couldn't really figure out what it was she wanted to do other than play. Attention was on a toy. Go figure!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | They are marking their terrority. Dogs have scent glands in their paw pads.

| My bigger dogs do this after they potty and Coral started to do this after she is done scratching her ears. I think that she thinks it is "cool" to act like her big sister and brother!!!

| Pasquale does it when he wants us to play with him....especially when we're on the floor with him and down on his level. We can actually get him to do it sometimes on command.."do the bull" LOL

| Snick does this ALL THE TIME when he gets all revved up tp play. He will tug of war with us for about 10 minutes and then if we get up, he does his "dance" and growls a bit and wants to play more. I adore it and wait for it. I think it's one of the best things he does. He never does it after potty....interesting. Hoilday Hugs- Snick & Viv

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Pixie is the only one of mine that does it and she does it when she wants something. We call it her moon walk.
