my Yorkie to drag its hind legs around while walking on his front paws~? Maybe he's stretching in the mornings, I don't know. He goes all around the dining room table and then hops back to all four of his paws. Just curious if any of you all experienced this with your Yorkies. Thanks.

Mine do it briefly while they are stretching

Britney does it every once and awhile when she is just waking up. We call it her seal walk.

Bent does it after every nap. Usually followed by a sleepy yawn

Callie does it when she wakes up too. My moms boy beagle does something similar to scratch his privates.

Belle does it a lot.

She does it after a nap but most of all when she's excited.
She drags her back legs and scoots across the floor with her little tail wagging like crazy. I think it's one of the cutest things she does.

Mine will do it occasionally if they've been laying around for a while.

Coco does this also. It is so cute when he does it. I just love those back feeties. After he stretches sometimes he will just plop down and lay like that with his back legs behind him. Then I can't resist and I have to kiss them

My girls don't do it at all.

NOt to alarm you or anything, but if he does this a lot, and it comes to the point where he cant hop back on to all four, you may want to get him tested for lymes disease, since dragging the hind legs is a symptom of it. But, i'm sure he is just stretching!

Thanks~! At first he was doing it slightly for a few seconds to a minute, I'd say. Then finally or lately, he's been doing this routine around the dining room table. I worry, but not excessive.
