Even the indoor pets of today still have this instinct to dig for their sleeping spot. If it's totally true or not I dont know but it makes sense to me

When she's done, she lays down and looks at you like "What?! It wasn't comfy how you had it!!"

Do any of your yorkies dig in bed?

YES!! I just noticed that Bear started doing this the past week or so..He'll dig in his bed, in my bed or anywhere! I noticed that him and my daughter Emily were digging in the gravels yesterday too! She would dig awhile then he would dig awhile..she thought it was so funny..she was cracking up..

Both of mine do that. I also think it's super cute!! Nikki is 1 1/2 and Littleman 3........so guess they can do it a long time???? Littleman did it last night and just when he got it right, he left his blanket and snuggled with me!!!

Angel her 2 of her puppies do that. She thinks she's a cat. Not only does she dig like a mad woman, but she rubs her body back and forth on the bottom of the couch. She also likes to sleep on the very top of the couch. Someone needs to inform her that she's a canine not a feline lol

All of my dogs do it. I swear that digging for gold. After they finish they let out a big sigh like now it's right. Makes me crack up.
