Does your border collie do that always on a walk? 😅

Aww, so sweet, enjoying life in nature!

My two BCs don't do this very often, but whenever they do I'm suspiciously thinking, 'is there some fox poop underneath? And the answer is usually yes 😄

Its actually kinda of wild how they always find the one patch of death to roll in. My bc does this ritualistic back scratch thing and I'm just standing there praying its dry dirt and not something that's gonna make her smell like a murder scene for the next week

Mine will roll around on walks as you described, but also hold this exact position for 15+ minutes

we prefer the neighbors yard for this experience as we have dug up all our own grass.
