Bogie does this constantly. The new female "Itsy" tried to do it by using
both her back feet at the same time and fell forward. Still laughing about
this one.

Subject: [Chihuahuas] Why Dogs Kick There Back Feet After Potty




Hi everyone

I always wondered why a dog kicks his back feet after he or she does a pee
or poo. I thought it was a "male dog"  thing to look big and tough. I
recently did a google research on it and read that dogs have SCENT GLANDS in
there feet and kicking or rubbing them on the ground or grass puts there
scent there for other dogs to be warned "I was here". 

Ricky kicks after every single pee or poo... and on a walk he pees alot!!
its kinda cute to see him almost in slow motion as he does his kicking!

How about anyone else's dog, do they do this and it is a male thing or does
anyones female do it too. 

shanna & ricky
