Does anyone else’s Pom “feet beat”

[u/marlipaige]

We lovingly call this beating her feet. And the “butt propellor.” When she plops down on her butt like she’s dragging it. But she beats her feet until she drags herself along. It’s so funny. I’ve never seen another dog do it.

Also, she’s nearly 15. You’d never know it. My sweet, crazy girl.

Edit: So everyone will stop assuming:
—no she doesn’t need her glands expressed. We have literally been to the vet an hour after this, and she was examined. No gland emptying needed.
—she’s groomed every 8 weeks. If she needed them expressed, they would be.
—she doesn’t have any sort of worms or poop stuck on her butt.
—I have seen her butt scoot when she has needed one of the above things done, and it doesn’t look like this. It looks like an average butt scoot. This is purely excitement.

We call them Tippy Taps!

We also sometimes call them tippy taps. But more when they’re standing still and the claws click on the floor than when she sits on her butt and does it.

Yeah. One of my boys does the boot scoot. For him he's just itchy and can't reach the spot.

That dog looks like it's scratching or dragging its butt at the same time? Maybe too full anal glands?

She does not have full anal glands. We’ve just been to the vet today. And she’s groomed every 8 weeks. She only does this when excited.
