Any of you fellow pooch owners have kids who like to do a 4 wheel burnout after pinching a loaf or leaving a dumpbroski?

The cats do, the dog is always full speed no matter what.

yes;
My dog Baron (white English Lab 11 months now) does it all the time
we've got scratch marks, in the gravel in the back all over,
kicks up rocks sometime too

sometime picks them up even brings a piece of gravel up on the deck
(I wish he would carry around rocks, tried breaking him of it, he's prevailed so far)

supposed to be like a dominance deal, like marking their territory

Hey, isn't it time to feed me?

Some of our hounds have done burnouts, others no. One we had would get all bouncy and frisky after every dump.

I think only my small dogs did that. The chihuahua would do it with her tiny little legs which was kind of funny

My nephew Keith (I helped to raise, we're close) he's 50 now
& his 10 year old daughter Sydney
(cute lil' 60# petite/small for her age, a sweet polite lil' girl, very outgoing, like a grandchild)
they were here yesterday, to just take a drive or visit, me & dad & ended up stayed last night,
org. they just came up to visit
it's a couple 3 hrs drive up from the valley

(lil' back story; Keith great father & is a Vice Principle/a disciplinarian at a HS down there,
doing well & he's an animal guy too, dog lover (runs in the family), lost his dog
an Aus./American Shepard 'Rebound' last year...
Now, I think he will get another one again soon, he's really busy right now,
his oldest daughter just turned 21, is going to Sac. State
still living at home & his wife Masha is also/getting her Masters, in Teaching & Music,
she's org. Russian, but from Ukraine, moved here like 22 years ago, they married shortly after
& she became a US citizen)

anyway;
My dog Baron was glued to her/Sydney, she was glued to him the whole time
like 2 peas in a pod, inseparable
she was out back playing & collecting gravel, (just pretty rocks at 1st)
she found a couple pieces of quarts
with what looks like gold in it...
I told her it was "The Motherlode" that got her interest up,
& up here we were known for a lot of gold in the mid 1800-1900s,
she spent most the time picking thru back yard gravel...

My dog Baron was following her everywhere, picking up the gravel
& dropping it in front of her, it was cute, she'd show him ones she found...
(even though I don't like him carrying rocks, I let it slide)

She left with a Ziplock bag of gravel with specks of what looks like gold...
Not pyrite (fools gold), it didn't flake off, it was pretty solid imbedded in the rock...
Baron stared at the door like she was gonna' come back in, sometime soon...
Sort of sad for the guy, misses his new buddy...

I should have taken photos, didn't think of it at the time...

Toga watching me work outside. She's at her observation post with a pacifier.

My brothers dog cocoa has a cut on her back leg. But, the cone of shame is not keeping her from playing ball. LOL
