As I was watching my silly little Ripley this morning I thought of a question I wanted to ask everyone. He was going potty in the yard and afterwards, as he always does, he ran about 12' away and then started digging up the dirt with his back legs to cover his poopie. I always have to laugh because he is nowhere near it when he decides to furiously scratch up the dirt to cover it. Bella never tries to cover it at all. Is it a male thing? If your dog does it does he at least start the scratching near it where it makes sense? Silly Ripley!
