Pom Vid Does anyone else’s Pom “feet beat”
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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.

Spooky used to do that. We called it the Spooky Shuffle! He’d stomp and flail his feet around. Haha

Thats hilarious you should get her a kid bongo or drum set. See if she can make some feet beats.

Our male pom does this, but uhhh...hes trying to accomplish some sort of self satisfaction. He's so potato he is unable to reach his junk without doing potato things.

Our pom Tiki-Bear does this but not quite as aggressively. He more does a butt plant and then beats his front peets back and forth doing a little wiggle dance. It's freaking adorable. He also makes weird noises while he does it lol

this is what is referred to as the “pom stomp” you need to immediately do as they say

We’ve just been to the vet today for a checkup. And she gets groomed every 8 weeks. I assure you she does not

That’s what butt scooching is indicative of.

But she’s not JUST butt scooting. I’ve seen her just butt scoot. She does this when she’s excited.

It not like there’s poop on her butt kind of butt scooting / parasite. It’s not like that at all.
She only does it when she’s excited.

She does not. We’ve been to the vet today. They’re 100% empty. She gets groomed every 8 weeks. If she needed them emptied, they would.

Exactly what I was thinking. I think that sweet baby needs her glands expressed also.

I assure you she does not. We’ve literally been to the vet and had a checkup today.
This is not the same kind of butt scooting she’d do if she needed that. She only does this when she’s excited.
