Our one dog does the same thing. He just can't wait for me to be using batting as he likes to get on it. I have a little box that has small pieces in it and he will drag them out and then he will literally do FLIP FLOPS on them and spreads them all around the upstairs hall area....hes 10 years old and has always done the FLIP FLOP and when he does it I always say to him...Woofie...is you a fish out of water...and he stops and looks at me and waggles his tail just as fast as he can waggle it.
