Both my dogs will rub their noses on the blanket right in front of their dog bowl before they eat. They do it about 15 or 20 times and then take a few bites and then do it a few more time.
Is this normal? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Daughter's Lab, Yogi ,did this , but it was more like a dog covering up something . As if he really didn't want to eat yet and wished he could cover it up for later .
I found this question asked on dogster too; it seems like a good number of dogs do this, but no one really knows why. There's nothing wrong, and it may be an instinctive thing.
