    Your dog is like my dog...I believe it is a neurotic thing...The dog doesn't like their 'waste' getting on their feet...
    Dogs or basically the canine species are very hygenic animals...meaning although they will basically eat other animals feces, they have a strong aversion to their own...and will make it a point not to defecate in anyplace where they will be sleeping...I think the foot scratching is basically to get any scent of their feces off of their feet.
