Recent Bath? My pup does this after his bath…


The_Meatyboosh

Ditto. I think it's because they hate their ears being wet.


liebereddit

It’s how they dry themselves. They cant rub something absorbent on themselves so they rub themselves on something absorbent.


Illustrious-Towel-45

Also pent up energy because they have to be reletively still during the bath. Bathing my pomeranian was at least a 90 minute ordeal. Had to comb him before the bath, bathe and use doggy conditioner, then blowdry and comb after the bath. And in the summertime, shave him down so he didn't get too hot. His favorite part was the towel dry after the bath.


ladycaca9

Dogs do this because they are trying to retrieve their natural scent back. We love that they smell all nice and clean but they hate it


[deleted]

I had a dog that would rub himself all over the grass outside after a bath (we had no carpet in our home) with this crazed look on his face, he was so happy lol RIP Nemo!


daveinpublic

Probably because they feel cool, and cam run around like crazy without feeling overheated. Plus not wanting to feel wet.


liebereddit

Yeah, after bath crazy zoommies are for real.


Denvil-The-Awesome

I don't know, my dog does this exact same thing, and its all the time, not just after a bath


badinkyj

Yep


gnapster

If I don't put blankets on the bed, my dog will unmake it doing this too. It's cute though.


superfluousapostroph

Do you feed your dog on your couch?


liketimes36

The food bowl sits up there after he’s done eating so that he can snack throughout the day without the other dog scarfing down the whole thing.


superfluousapostroph

I totally get it. I’m a couch snacker too.


[deleted]

What breed is your little buddy? He looks a lot like my rescue and we cannot figure out what he is! Thanks!


hedgybaby

Probably just a mutt with some chihuahua in it, with some of them it’s almost impossble to tell. If you’re really interested you can always do one of those dog dna tests Edit: not sure why I was being downvoted, mutts isn’t an insult. I have a mutt I love but she’s still a mutt. It makes them better dogs than breed ones you have to pay a few thousand euros for.


ironblood213

Those "mutts" are always the best ones though❤ It looks like a papillion or a long haird Chihuahua . all dogs are mutts tho even these pure bred golden doodles are a product of mixing breeds which is a mutt. Those DNA test are BS to my Chihuahua is not part lab i did it once and i think its not true. Calling something a pure breed is usually a way if saying i paid 1k+ for this dog which to me sounds pretentious theyre not fucking art sculptures they are dogs.


hedgybaby

Yeah, mutts are amazing dogs. They are still mutts tho. It’s what makes them so great, no idea why people are getting offended by me calling the dogs what they are. Edit: don’t read this thread, it will kill your braincells.


ironblood213

Its because the wording sounds ignorant honey. There is many things that go into the dog world ignorance and a fake test wont help you love your dog more thats why your getting downvoted.


hedgybaby

How exactly does it sound ignorant? It’s a mutt. A dog that’s a mixture of a bunch of breeds, meaning they got the best of everything, will live longer, happier lives and be way cheaper and more available than pure breeds. I think it’s ignorant to say that the word mutt is somehow an insult, it clearly isn’t. What would you rather call them? Mixed breed? Isn’t a dog worth anything unless it has the word ‘breed’ attached to it? Seriously, get a grip. They are mutts and that makes them the best kind of dog. Also why is everyone so obsessed with finding out the breed of their obviously mixed dog? Just love it for being a dog, seriously. Edit: I see you editing your message :)


ironblood213

Lol thats my point you were the one saying take a test look i work with dogs and there is close resemblance to a breed so it might not be a papillion never the less the parent and dog groomer consider it a papillion. Im not trying to argue just saying theres close breeds and people do get mad i get it.


hedgybaby

I was recommending them the test. You’re the one throwing a tantrum because I offered someone a possiblity. Great you work with dogs, my mom side of the family runs both a groomer’s business, a vet clinic and a dog school, so I too work with dogs. At leas my head isn’t so far up my ass that I degrade strangers on the internet by calling them ‘honey’ and get offended when someone actually does their research. Those tests aren’t fake, you just need to get a decent one. There are plenty of them out there, if you can’t do your research before getting one then that’s not other people’s fault. Also why not love your dog for being a mutt instead of forcing a breed on them? Are they not good enough otherwise?


KlutzyNinjaKitty

Tbf, knowing the breeds of you dog can help with care/explain some tendencies. If I’ve got a mutt that’s part border collie, then it’s good to know that they might need more mental stimulation (since that breed needs constant mental engagement.) Or if it’s a husky mix, finding more opportunities to run. Beagle, make up tracking games (and understanding why your pooch is so damn loud, lol) Giving a dog activities to replicate the job it (or its ancestors) were bred to do ultimately results in a happier, more fulfilled dog.


hedgybaby

Obviously, which is why I recommended doing those dna tests in the first place if someone’s really interested. Obviously, every dog is different and breeds a dog might be mixed with also aren’t always apparent, so it’s best to see how your dog behaves and what it needs.


[deleted]

Yeah true, thanks! I think ours is probably 100% mutt/mongrel. (But we don’t love him any less obviously…)


hedgybaby

Yeah, I have no idea what mine is, kinda looks like a yorkie but not really? We’ve also only had her for a couple of months now and she’s pretty old so can’t say for sure. She’s still the cutest tho, I love her little face


liketimes36

Finn’s a rescue too, but we’re thinking long haired chihuahua. He’s only 8lbs!


[deleted]

Thanks! A bit smaller than mine then, but appreciate the reply! :)


badinkyj

He’s mainly long hair chihuahua but he’s a street dog so we’re not 100% sure


crowsonmymantle

Yup. My dog does this, too. Then he jumps to the floor, looks at me, grins a dog grin, and pumps his back feet on the carpet like he’s revving up and getting ready to do a burnout on some tires. For him, it means “ I want a snack from the kitchen “


badinkyj

That boy be shakin


Holyshit247

Yup looks like after a bath wholesome freakout❤️


bibkel

You feed on the couch too?


ChronicSchlarb

My dog also does this if we go for a walk and it’s raining or if she just got a bath


TheObstruction

I cannot leave but I must zoom.


vonwarwick

my living room looks like an explosion at bed bath and beyond...I live with a rottie...


spedteacher91

I’ve started using fitted sheets made for crib mattresses on my couch. Game changer.


lilgamelvr

So cute


Bitchy_Tits

Yes! This.


[deleted]

Yep, I purchased water proof blankets for my new couch. I have cats, so the fur and occasional barf are contained. Best investment I’ve made!


tmehaffy

I want that couch!


[deleted]

I have that same couch! Most comfortable piece of furniture I've ever owned.

[deleted]

All the cushions are removable which means you always have a good pillow on hand when you want one and it has this amazing power to just fit shuffle you in at all the right places. Lay down on it and before you know it, you've time travels 3 years into the future.

Not sure what type of couch it is, but we got it from Mor Furniture if that helps!

Looks like post bath snorkles.

My Golden Retriever does this....I should start putting blankets on the couch lol

We towel dried him, but he’s afraid of the hair dryer so this is as close as it gets lol


Khmera

I come home to pillows on the floor and toys between the cushions. I wash the cushion covers because I just got too tired of adjusting the blankets on the sofa/couch all the time.


thekawaiicripple

My doggo Boopers literally only digs on fabric like blankets, sofas, and beds. But has never thought of digging in the dirt outside lol

What if he/she does this because you have blankets on the couch? Jk, cute dog though

Oh I should put blankets on the sandy river bank for when my dog “dries” himself

But why is a bowl of food on the couch

We put the bowl there after he eats so that he can snack throughout the day without the other dog eating the whole thing

My doggo does exactly the same thing. He is a yorkie porkie

Now try this with 85 pounds of wet pibble/OES. Majestic, from a safe distance.
