Yesterday I showed you how I used to have a difficult time getting comfortable.

That’s a thing of the past (mostly) and now I like to build fake nests. What is a fake nest you ask?

This is a fake nest as it’s being built:

See? Nothing actual “builds” my nest but I work VERY hard on it. Typically I do it on the surface I’m sitting on but during that particular clip, I needed materials from the side as I had already gathered bottom materials before Mom started filming. Shortly after Mom stopped filming, I curled up in my newly constructed nest and went to sleep.

I will mush around an actual blanket if one is there but sometimes you must improvise!

Am I the only one who does this?

I was a discarded, lost little stray without a house or a family...until my mom found me. Now, I am the happiest, most loved dog in the whole world!

    Your nest making reminded me of a dog I grew up with. Queenie was a rat terrier and she loved to make nests to snuggle into. You have awesome nest building abilities Noodle! Enjoy!

    Then you just have to sit on an egg and eventually a puppy will hatch. I think that’s how it works…

    I also build non-nests for sleeping. I work and work and accomplish nothing. Then I curl up and act like I’ve built the best nest on earth. Are we nuts??

    Love and licks,

  9. I move around a lot. Maybe it would help if I nested. Riley nests, but not as energetically as you do. ❤

    • I’m very dramatic according to my mom. As a matter of fact, I’m currently pretending to be sick.

      • I pretended to be sick years ago just as Mommy and Daddy were getting ready to leave for their flight to France over Thanksgiving. Mommy said, “I won’t leave her if she’s sick.” (I knew this!) Daddy sighed with resignation. I figured I had pretended long enough that they missed their flight, but I was the one who missed – miscalculated, that is. I went to the sitters and had the time of my life, but that is another Memory.
        Oh, I do hope you are only pretending. What do you want to get or happen from the play-acting?

      • Excellent performance! I was definitely pretending. It’s how I get extra snuggles 🙂

  11. I (Sammy) am a nester too! I love to dig my blankie up into a ball and then I flop down on it and snuggle in.

  14. It’s important to have the pawfect lumps. Dogs used to do this millions of years ago in caves, but I can see you’re perfecting the art of the nest, Noodle. Everyone needs a warm, cozy den in which to relax. 😉
