Though domesticated, their instict tells them to cover up their scents. They see the rug as more absorbent, and think it will mask the smell better. If they are outside, they will vomit in the grass versus the dirt.Jenniferhttp://www.german-shepherd-lore.com/why-does-my-dog-throw-up-on-the-carpet.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955077234995938266.post-82778817306503017582009-09-01T13:15:30.776-04:002009-09-01T13:15:30.776-04:00When I had ceramic tiles, it was not the smooth ty...When I had ceramic tiles, it was not the smooth type.

I have lots of nice area rugs to warm it up.....just a note: Murphy's law #242; if a dog has to vomit, he will always hit the area rug and not the 2000 sq. ft. of laminate!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926506767875715067noreply@blogger.com
