| Mine does her digging in the bed. Her little behind is up in the air while she scratches frantically to make a "nest". She also likes to rub her face all over the bed. It's so cute to watch her.

| Mine does it all the time. On the carpet, on the couch, on my bed, on his bed, at the vets.... need I go on? I believe he is scent marking and labeling everything as his.

| Lollie and Peppy both scratch and dig. Peppy just digs in his bed to make it just right. Lollie buries everything her toys, her Churpi Chew as well as Tealie's and Peppy's, the food bowl, the water and I musn't forget she has to dig and dig to get the covers just right before taking a nap. |

| After Gizmo is done eating, or after a bath, he'll come into the living room, where we have an area rug-we have mostly hardwood floors- and proceed to wipe his face on, "Mommas freshly cleaned rug" or "Mommas new sofa". Little turd!

| Sometimes when Callie is trying to get comfy in a place to sleep she will "dig" at the couch or chair she is in. She also will rub her head on the floor after a bath or if I use a warm cloth to clean her up. My moms yorkie Sammy will rub his face on things he wants to smell like him.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Annie does it every time before she goes to bed. It is like she is insistent on making it perfectly comfortable for her. So funny.

| Ahi is a digger...she just digs at everything! Couch, floor, blanket, plastic runner, carpet, my bed, her bed, your leg... LOL I think she does it for many reasons. When she smells something, nesting, trying to bury something, bored, needs to get out extra energy.

| Harry does it on my parent's cold tiled kitchen floor just before he wants to go to sleep - that's the only 'cold spot' in their house, and he chooses it! His nails on that floor really make your teeth go on edge!! Sally + Harry x |
