Why Do Dogs Do That?

This Is My Beautiful Dog Sasha

So why do dogs do things that leave some of our heads spinning? They leave us with many questions by the end of the day but I have gathered a few commonly asked questions and found answers! Prepare for knowledge! 

 -Why do dogs roll around on the carpet?-This one really gets me because I'm the one who vacuums the house. But she may just be trying to relieve an itch or rub her smell everywhere to make it smell like home(this is comforting to dogs). 

-Why do dogs turn around before laying down? This is still an unsolved mystery but I do have my theories. It could be something at simple as getting comfortable or may relate to their wild side. When dogs roamed free there was always the possibility of an attack so when they turn around they may be trying to find a position where they are the least vulnerable against attack .

-Why do dogs bury food and toys? Burying food is like you and me using a refrigerator. Burying food keeps it fresh and safe. You might be wondering why save food when they have a full food bowl? But that's why they do it. They think that since they already have enough food they should save this extra for later.

Now you probably have more of an understanding of your dog and why she does some of the things she does. Although there are 100s of questions waiting to be answered I picked these because I can relate to them. Thank you for reading but since you are now unoccupied go walk the dog!
