Since we brought Alice home she loves to crawl around like a seal on the carpet. She drags he back legs and paws behind her and just motors around. I would say weird but I am thinking normal?!!

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too ~Mom to my good boy Fred and my crazy girl Alice~ Proud applications coordinator for Ratbone Rescue

It may just be itching from allergies. Carpet is an effective scratcher. My allergy-ridden dachshunds did this, but my other dogs have not been inclined to do it.

My two do this when they wake up in the mornings or after a nap. It's like they are stretching. Hehehe!

My mom's dog does it. I always thought he was just to lazy to get up to get what he wanted.
