hind leg shivers

Hello,
My OES is 16 months old, and all of a sudden, sometimes when he gets excited his hind quarters look they are out of control. It's not really a covulsion, but it's similiar to a "humping" motion, except he is neutered.
Has anyone experience this?
Thanks!
Linda (Cozmo's MOM)

Are you talking about air humping? Woohoo! Another one! Clyde's done this for a long time. It's always when he gets way excited to see us or sometimes even after a particularly satisfying stretch. It's gotten to be such a normal occurrence for us that we just laugh and cheer him on it when it happens--- although it really appears like he has no control as to when it starts and when it stops.
Barney has the same thing (if it is what it sounds like to me). Barney seems almost embarassed by it--it's like it is out of his control and he doesn't want to, but can't help it.
He's 26 months old and neutered.
Thanks!
I was concerned it might be something medical, but it sounds like they are just "fantasizing" LOL
Maggie sometimes does a very slow-motion air-hump. She has such a puzzled expression on her face when she does it. Cracks me up, but I make her down immediately because I don't want her getting any ideas.
Archie does this. It's obviously an out of his control thing--poor guy looks absolutely humiliated. We avert our eyes so as not to further embarrass him.
I'm guessing it's a good thing my dog doesn't do this? :lol: These dogs never cease to amaze me.
panda gets the back leg quivers too, but it always happens when she is over excited....especially when Bailey comes over to play...then they both do it.......
