| Sissy does this. Sometimes she has trouble getting it just right and will have to rearrange everything till it is to her liking. Bubba, on the other hand, jumps into bed, puts his head on my pillow and starts snoring. I have to push him over to get the little piece of pillow that I am allowed. If I disturb him too much he grumbles.

| Tibbe is a nest-builder and works hard to nest almost every time he gets ready to go to sleep. He works just as hard to get a doggie blanket or an afghan, human blanket or duvet fixed just like he wants it, kind of built-up high at some point and that's usually where he likes to put his head. He doesn't seem to like to sleep on smooth surfaces and will dig at them until he thinks he's stirred up some nap or something, even if it's just in his mind.

| Both of mine dig. Coco digs while on the sofa, Rico digs in bed.

| Piper and Jilly do this. Someone told me they are putting their scent on the area. Who knows? But they do work hard |

| Huey likes to nest, too. He will scrape at my arm to lift the covers, then once under the covers, digs like a maniac for a few minutes. Last night he was so tired, he just climbed under the covers on his own and promptly went to sleep where he landed. He did burrow deeper after I took a picture 1st pic is his face, 2nd pic nothing but an ear!

| Our last girl used to dig/nuzzle/bite/pull for some time, then suddenly stop, look up, walk a few steps away from where she was building her nest and collapse. It was hilarious to watch. |

| My Belle is almost 2 years old and has been digging her bed since she was 3 or 4 months old. She also buries her food and covers it with invisible dirt. It's so cute to see their natural instincts kick in. |

| I've never known a dog that didn't do it! Paw, dig, teeth, pull and lots of turning around until finally they plop down.

| I've got one who furiously digs and nests at bedtime (P-Nut) while the other either watches and acts like he's nuts, or ignores him. Being a first-time dog owner, I had no idea what P-Nut was doing when he first started nesting as a pup, I thought he'd lost his marbles! |

| Add Billi to the list. It's funny tho, she'll even dig at pillows, the couch, the carpet... Not just blankets. One of these days, she'll get to China!

| Gracie only does this with certain blankets. I have a couple blankets that I took out of their storage bags in my bedroom closet. If I do not latch the closet door she will open the door, drag her favorite blanket out and arrange it just as she likes it. Eventually she will lay down and take a nap on it. She has her own blanket on the bed which she rearranges occasionally but not every night. It does make you wonder what they think they are accomplishing with all the activity. |

| Buster is a nester as well. I love watching him as he takes his work very seriously. it does look pretty cozy when he finishes.

| Pao digs at his cashmere blanket which I made out of cashmere cardigans that I found at the thrift store. He loves that blanket and will only sleep on it but he needs to dig it until it is a certain way that he likes
