Why run

[JAKEISGREAT]

Maybe it is an innate thing since they are throwing off a scent when they poop. Arnold and Bertha do it as well.

Tracy..That sounds like sumpin straight out of the mouth of a Psych nurse!

Ella has just started doing this. She does the dirt scratchy thing, then zoom, shes off. Lucky for me it's in the back yard where I don't have her leashed, How ever now I have jinxed myself, she will now do this out on a walk, and I will end up with a face full of smelly Elie poo lol

Hey have you smelt that stuff? I'd run from it too.

No freakin' clue, but it is highly entertaining!

I know this happens to other people and always happens here. Every time Buster goes out in the backyard to when he's done he runs like a bat out of hell to get back in the house. He can really run too. Does anyone know why they run?? He doesn't do it anywhere else.

Sheldon does this too I can only assume it means he feels better afterwards and feels like running LOL...Someone on here called it the "Zoomies" he gets the zoomies too where he runs from the living room to the kitchen through the dining room into the hallway and back into the living room in one fast circle.
Oh and he attacks the tree in the front yard trying to climb it...

HAHAHAHAHA!!! That's got to be it.

After Vegas is done he does the chicken scratch and takes off like a bat out of hell, when he gets in the house he does about 3 laps around the living room. He is 4.5 yrs old and always has done this.

Thunder will take off sometimes, at least once a day.

 

[Bruno and Gidget]

Hahahah I agree with you David. My theory is they are running away from the smell!

Ramsay does the opposite! He'll run around like CRAZY before he goes poop! Then after he usually goes to sleep. At least I can always tell when he has to go! It's making house training a lot easier

 

[Opie CHL]

Chum is a runner too! I can't believe how fast he is. It must be a Bully thing because he's at his fastest after he drops his morning poop.

 

[Bazza]

bazza always does a funny sort of four leg scratching as if to kick it away but always walks of with an extra bounce in his step very proud of himself

Colossus is in great company after reading this thread. He will pinch it off, kind of turn around to look at it slowly stepping away, then BOOOM hes gone. Will run directly for me then one step before sharp right hand turn. Then up the stairs to get back inside.

I always as Momo if the devil is chasing her - that's how she acts. That or she thinks there's something in the house she's missing while being outside (nap time on the couch perhaps?)

Ruthie kicks grass over it and then TAKES OFF...she makes laps around the yard, we call it "bully gone wild".
