Please Give A Round Of Applause For... The Wiggles!

Barley, a dog, has rolled into her back and is gleefully wiggling back and forth, paws in the air.

Thankfully, Barley has never seemed interested in rolling around in “scentful patches” of ground. However, she does still find herself needing to wiggle from time to time. This behavior serves two purposes. If she finds an especially nice patch of dry, pokey grass, she may take a minute to give herself a vigorous back scratch. On the other hand, when the weather is especially hot and she is panting up a storm from the sun beating down on her back, she’ll find a patch of the lushest, greenest grass that has remained in the shade all day and flop onto her back to shed the extra heat.
