Dog Behavior

The dog knows it is a safe place. Also, the dog may be hot or cold. Since dog temperature is around 101.5F degrees, while humans are 98.6F degrees, they might lie on a human's legs to get cooler. But if the room is cool, then lying on a human's legs is warmer than room temperature.

The dog family (wolves/domestic dogs, foxes, jackals, coyotes, etc.) are closely related to turtles, and other amphibious creatures, including frogs and newts.

Less likely to do with pregnancy, more likely trying to 'itch' the anal glands.

Dogs have anal glands on either side of the sphincter that produce a (usually) foul smelling liquid. These glands are similar to those of a skunk. Usually when a dog makes a bowel movement, as they clinch their sphincter muscle the tightness of the muscle will cause the glands to excrete some of the fluid. When they aren't draining as well as they could, it causes dogs to try to "itch" back there, and that's when they do the "boot-scoot" (butt scooting)

When you take your girl to the vet for a checkup, ask them to "express her anal glands". If they become infected or impacted, it can lead to an expensive surgery and is something so easily done, some people do it themselves (rubber gloves needed) rather than pay a vet 10 bucks or more.

There are many reasons that a dog may bark; - a dog may be barking at an unfamiliar object or sound - an aggresive dog may be barking at a human - a dog may bark at its toy etc..
Your dog will only bark when they see another person or a dog. He recognizes only you and barks to scare away the other people/dogs.

If dogs urinate while you are out on a walk in the neighborhood, they are "catching up on their correspondence". Marking (with urine) is how dogs "communicate" to other dogs in the area, since they all tend to choose the same places to urinate. A dog marking a public place with urine is it's way of "dropping it's business card" on a community "desktop" for other dogs to read. Now, in your own backyard, it could be because he can smell that he's used that area before, or just becasue that seems like a good spot to him.
