Kicking

[papbouv]

Does anyone know why Doxie's kick their hind legs out behind them,other breeds usually do that after going to the bathroom but noticed Patches just does it to be doing it I guess.
Great to hear about Penny doing all the regular Doxie stuff she has not be able to do for a while looks like she is headed in the right direction keep up the good work Penny.

PS Guess I should ask if all Doxie's kick their hind legs out or just some of them???

Hallie sometimes kicks so hard she goes airborn. It's so funny to see. I have heard that dogs do this to spread their scent through the air to claim the area but who knows for sure...

Schatzi does it regularly and then adds the stretch and drag of the back legs. I guess she figures if she's going to kick all the kinks out (from all the sleeping she has been doing) she might as well stretch at the same time!

I remember one person who used to post her (Glenda) described the kicking as their way of "wiping their hands after a job well done".
