| Does your dog make their bed before laying down? I haven't been around alot of dogs,but our 3 yorkies make their bed before they lay down. They tug on the blankets and scratch them to death before they lay down. I get so tickled. Do all breed of dogs do this or is it a yorkie thing? |

| I know my Mayzie does this. It is hilarious. She gets so into it with scratching and digging and hopping. It is a hoot to watch.

| Everytime there is a blanket or towel around...on the couch in the car on the bed, Milo is an equal opportunity space maker. It must be just to his likeing to lie down |

| My Missy does this! I've also had a poodle, a maltese, and a Lab-cross that made their beds too.

| Both of my babies do this very vigorously! It's so cute. It takes them a while to find the perfect position.

| It's really hard work for JoJo to get his bed ready. Sometimes, he lays down and has to get up, go in circles and scratch some more. When his bed and blanket are in a mess and his hair is wild, then he can rest well. |

| Hi everyone, I read someplace that it's a natural instinct for dogs to do this. They are making the bed/whatever more comfy. If you google it there is a great description... LOL....Have a great nite,,,, Sharon, PIXI & SPIKE |

| This is my first experience with dogs. Mine do that. It is so funny to watch. Sometimes after they get it juuust right and get ready to lay down, I will mess it up. Sometimes they will do it all over again and then sometimes they will just plop down and sigh.
