problem?

hey, well this problem? has been going on for a while now. Its not a problem as such, maybe just a small concern.
U see, indie will push her body into my legs, mainly her back end and her belly. If she is playin around attackin my feet and they drop onto her belly or back she will force herself really hard into them, like shes rubbing them? or pushes in really hard on her belly area. Its really bizarre.
Im not worried enough to warrant a vet visit as they said it was nothing when she was previously biting the area.

does anyone have any ideas what this might be?

One of my dogs rubs back & forth on my shins, like a cat, and it is very hard. Never thought it a problem though, apart from my pain, think it is just a sign of affection and play. Most dogs will shoulder barge or push one another so I think it will be something like that unless I have understood what you are meaning

welllll... she doesnt necessarily do it in the case of playing, it was just an example of my foot being there. she will frequently and quite randomly walk over to me and position herself so that she is halfway over my leg, so front legs one side and back legs other side so that my raised leg (crossed leg) is holding up her belly, she wil more than happily stand there with her back legs off the floor while she is doing this. Other times she will push her bum into my leg, for example today, she forced her bum into my leg and just stood there and looked at me with a rather sad look (well, she normally looks sad anyway i spose with her eyebrows )

do u get what i mean. I mean, i dont think its a problem, but wondered if perhaps she had some sort of skin problem or maybe even bladder problem?

or perhaps shes just trying to get me to itch a spot she cant reach?

Dogs like their bellies and chests rubbed, if you don't like it push them off.

Just check for any sign of skin irritation and the mammary strip ever time you groom and you will soon see if anything is wrong, otherwise I would not worry.
