| Digging-but only before laying down! I call it "making her bed" Mya always digs right before she lays down somewhere, and never any other time! It is the cutest thing...she'll do it on a bed, couch, her bed, blanket anything! It is the funniest thing it really is like she's making her bed. She doesn't dig any other time! People go omg that's so cute! cuz she will really get goin fast haha, and I'm like oh yeah, she's just making her bed I know they were bred to hunt rodents...but I didn't know if they like slept in holes too??? Causing her to have the digging instinct before she lays down?? Maybe to hide from the rats Anyone know???

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Max has been doing that too, but only these last few months, never did this before, he only does it at night, on our bed.

| Both of our yorkies do this as well It isn't just Yorkies though, it is a dog thing- most of my dogs growing up did it as well. Maybe in the wild they did it to make sure nothing was going to be in their way when they laid down, kind of like circling before laying.

| Kimbo does this for every nap and also @ bedtime. One of his favorite places to fall asleep is on my kid's backs when they're laying on the floor. Whenever they notice that he looks sleepy, they race each other to lay down so Kimbo will give them a "massage" before his nap. We video taped it the other day. He's the best massuese ever! Adorable to watch! |

| Someone once told me that this is called nesting. All of my yorkies have done that also.

BANNED FOR NOT SENDING A GIFT EXCHANGE GIFT! | Denzel does this also i just thought he liked the way the sheets felt on his fur in between his toes hahaha. my boyfriend always ask me why does he do it and i say because he likes the smooth texture so when Denzel fall asleep tonight in our bed and if my boyfriend asks the same question as he do every night i will say because he is "making the bed up" lol |

| My Yorkies do it too. We never questioned why though. I just figured they wanted a heap of blanket to make it puffy so when they lay down it is nice and soft. They just do it with blankets not pillows since they are flat.

| Apple's breeder and I were talking about this trait, and this just seems to be how yorkie's do business.... Apple actually tries to dig a nest in my lap!!! Fortunately, it's just a couple of digs, a spin and then down, or I could end up w/some injured thighs lol....She spends more time diggin' on pillows and blankets, 'though.... |
