Betti does the "nose up our butts" thing, too. It must come with the territory of being hyper-rotten. I think that's the explanation. Betti is like a little ping-pong ball, a jackrabbit bounding accross the lawn in these great strides with both hind feet in sync. Greta just trots clumsily with her flopping ears that stand out from her head, flapping in the wind like wings. Sometimes she stumbles and attempts to get up fast enough that no one notices. She budges at manhole covers, especially grates on the sidewalk, and must walk around them.
Betti also has so much energy. She is a spaz...or a TARD..whicheve r you prefer. We have issues lately!
