Senior Yorkie Talker | Do all Yorkies build a nest at bedtime? Just curious if this is common or a quirk. Shelby always digs and builds a nest with whatever towel or blanket she is sleeping on once she's really ready to go to sleep. She may sleep in it or someplace else, but at least I know she's ready to go to bed. The digging is pretty cute! And we know she is actually ready to try to go to sleep, which is a relief at times. |

| lol! Is this a yorkie thing? I wasn't sure. My two both do it but Molli does it so much it's hilarious. She digs at the blankets for like 5 minutes! Maybe its a terrier thing. This would be an interesting poll to see

| Max and Teddy do this too. I love watching them. They work so hard, often holding a corner of the blanket in their mouths, but they rarely accomplish anything in the way of changing the blanket.

| It's not a Yorkie thing, or a terrier thing, it's a dog thing. I've had or known many dogs of different breeds/mixes, and some do it but some don't.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Crystal enters this ritual most nights. There's a lot of 'bull-dozing' and furious burrowing. The whole routine ends very suddenly with a sit down, rather like kids playing musical chairs when the music stops. Sometimes I get an accompanying stare of disapproval (entirely unwarranted) and most times the entire sequence is supplemented with rigorous reverse snorting. |

| Caleb and Pippi do it. Pippi's the worse, she sounds like she's going to rip the sheets up or couch at times. She burrows under the small duvets that I've made them, until just her head sticks out. It does look cute. Our larger dogs, have never dug like these two, but have all walked in circles first.

| Maggie does it more than Buster, she can be very picky about where she sleeps...

| My Ripley does not do it. Neither did my Presley. They just plop down. Though Ripley does lie to sleep above my head on my pillows. Presley always slept in the curve of my armpit or the back of my legs.
