PJ will be walking around and then sit then walk a will more and sit again. It almost seems like her butt is itichy. She doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable. I’m just wondering if something maybe going on?

Yes, it does sound like she is uncomfortable. Impacted anal glands, constipation, itchy skin allergies or even some intestinal worms can cause such symptoms. I would recommend a check of her anal glands by your vet or tech and further investigations if this does not resolve her condition
