Why Dogs Bark Every Morning
Dogs usually bark first thing in the morning because they are hungry, thirsty, or need to relieve themselves after a night's wait. Establishing a fixed feeding and walking routine, plus teaching a puppy to use a designated potty area, prevents this from becoming a habit. Attention-seeking barking should be ignored until the dog settles.
How Soon Can a Dog Be Bathed After Giving Birth?

Why Does a Dog Keep Rubbing Its Nose on the Ground
A dog rubbing its nose on the ground may have a cold (nasal discharge blocks breathing), a foreign object in the nose (pollen, dust, grass seed — causes sneezing), nasal skin disease (mites, bacteria, fungus, eczema — itchy, with hair loss), or simply be investigating an interesting scent on the floor. Treat the cause: cold medicine, remove the object, medicate the skin, or just redirect its attention.
