I kinda’ worried my Mommy the first time I grabbed the blanket to make it into my bed.
Lots of our sheets and towels and blankets have holes in them from Riley, er, He Who No Longer Exists, chewing them up. So, naturally, Mommy thought I was turning into another blanket chewer. He, he. I use my mouth to move things to where I want them, that’s all.
I use my front feet, too, and soon I get things just right.
What do you do to get ready for bed?
Everyone have a warm and cozy night.

I just wait for mom to lift the covers and I snuggle up to her! Hazel starts in her bed at the top of the bed ramp and then moves to the fleece blanket at the end of the bed at mom’s feet.

OMP! We all do the same here my cute little friend. We really do!! I drag my Egyptian cotton sheet everywhere for my blankie and adjust it accordingly. Houdini has to dig around with the blankets on mom/dad’s bed to make his little piece of heaven for bedtime. It’s so darn cute!! Happy sleeps ❤ XOXO – Bacon

Sam not so much. He just curls up in a tiny ball and falls asleep 😴 right away. No fluffing necessary.

My dough is old and arthritic. I keep his hips warm, so he hurts less. You may change as you get older.

PJ’s and a blanket. you lucky dog. I have a dual king size bed, two twins on the same headboard. Sid and Shelby share one bed and technically I get the other one. As soon as the light goes out, there is Shelby up against my back. Sophie has a crate in the family room. Maybe one of these days I will trust her to join us/ I don’t see it happening any time soon.

Your nest-bed is sweet, X. Very cozy. I make a blanket-bed like that in the morning, when Mom is in the shower. At night, I simply cuddle up to her and she tucks me in under her blankets.
Love and licks,

Abby Lab has a crate in the living room with a blanket over it that is her “cave” . It has a one piece plush mat in there that she tries to move around like a rug. So far she’s had no luck as it’s just this big plush covered piece of styrofoam.

My miniature poodle uses his claws and mouth to move the blankets the way he likes. If I’m in bed though, he just paws me to lift the covers so he can crawl under the overs to snuggle next to me.♥️

That blanket sure looks soft and cozy! Nymeria and I don’t really do anything to get ready for bed. We just flop into our beds and sleep. Well in my case..my humom’s bed and Nymeria and her special spot on the couch.
