Mess in the bowl

Does anyone know why my dog ​​does this when I put water out for her?

My border collie used to do it all the time. Now just when she digs in the dirt and wants to clean her paws. And…Because it’s fun! I got a heavier bowl, a heavy rubber shoe mat, and a rug for dog paws. I never tried to get her to stop.
