Flicking Mud
« on: January 06, 2005, 10:27:47 PM »
Hmm Indie has developed a really silly habit of flicking mud with her hind legs after shes done a widdle :unsure:   SHes never done it before, I wonder if its a sign of her season again?  Anybody elses female cockers do this?  Its a good job my grass is not like a bowling green :lol:   Or she would be in trouble :P

Do you mean like kicking sand in your face!!

I think this is just a thing that they do to spread the word, so to speak - it doesn't help, however, if they have done a poo, you are bending over to pick it up, and you get more of the same shucked back into your face !!

Barley does this, and I tell her just because she may have seen her friends do it, that is no excuse !!

 :D Yeah  :lol:   Little monkies aren't they, I wonder why she should suddenly start this though?  

I wonder...... No couldn't be that......... The fence dividing our garden and next door has blew down in the strong wind, I wonder if shes suddenly marking her terratory?  Mind you its pointless they don't have any animals atall :lol:

Ruby does that but she was spayed 18 months ago. Also another thing she does is mark a lot of areas when she's out and it seems she does this more when she scents bitches on heat who've also done the same. She weed so much once when I was out I nearly took her to the vet to see if she was all right (she was fine at home) until someone pointed out that there were quite a few bitches on heat at the moment.

I know some dogs that do that.  My mothers border collie is staying here over night, and she always scratches up the dirt.  I always assumed they were covering up what they had done, but that is probably not correct.  Maybe it is actually to spread the smell over a greater distance to make them appear larger?

At least I dont have to worry about clippng her back nails...she keeps them nicely shortened herself with all her scratching around  :lol:
