odies_mama · 04-09-2008, 08:25 PM

yes! kind of freaked me out for a bit, i was thinking that he was chasing a rat or something lol

but he's gotten better now that hes older

so maybe your baby will grow out of it?

pinkyttc · 04-09-2008, 08:28 PM

Alllllllllll the timeeeeeee!

He loves to just dig and dig and dig some more and sniff and then dig.

After awhile he looks up and his face is poofy from all the digging and sniffing. He looks like a little lion with a poofy mane. Hehe.

Truffles is over a year old and he's been digging since we got him.

lulababy · 04-09-2008, 08:35 PM

yes she does this.. mostly before she settles into bed for the night though... like shes making the bed comfy

Mom to Hot Rod · 04-09-2008, 08:40 PM

Hot Rod actually dug a hole in a pillow protector digging!

Meeko digs into the couch all the time! I get freaked out thinking theres a bug or something there! The weird things is he never digs outside. I see other dogs at the dog park digging, but he doesnt.

memphismomma · 04-09-2008, 09:07 PM

ya memphis has never tried digging in the dirt where he can actually get somewhere lol

txrosegirl · 04-10-2008, 04:38 AM

miss buffey likes to dig too but never outside for some reason lol

she does it with blankets, pillows, bedding, couch, etc...i guess it makes her spot more comfortable before she settles down for a rest

i always think it is soooo cute

... she works really hard at it too lol

chimicole · 04-10-2008, 04:52 AM

Terriers are naturally "diggers".
Although I think it's funny too that some of the little ones don't like to dig outside where they can get to something.... LOL!

urbnalbino · 04-10-2008, 04:53 AM

Oh yes! Glory does it when I give her treats, and Callie does it when she wants to lay down! It is really funny to watch.

mingtoy · 04-10-2008, 05:07 AM

Mingtoy does it when she is in her bed , also when she want to go outside she comes to me start digging , look at the door , if I don't open the door , she does it again .

Same here!! Chloe does that too!!! It is sooo cute!! But I don't like it when she digs on our bed though!!

ARCHIE · 04-10-2008, 07:55 AM

But Why?

Buddy only does this when I wake up in the morning. He starts digging
like a mad dog in the bed. I have been scratched on my face and arm
because I just can not get him to stop. I thought he just wanted me to
get up and out of bed. It's been going on for 3yrs and not even close
to getting better. I put a chew bone in the night stand drawer to give
him fast but he got so use to that it does not help anymore.
His head goes down and his front paws dig like crazy and he just keeps
going. I wish I could find a way to make it stop too.
I pretend I'm still sleeping at times so I don't have to go threw this nonsence.
But of course once he sees my eyes open all heck breaks out.

my baby Sadie · 04-10-2008, 08:01 AM

Sadie does it too! The funniest is that she has a certain spot on the hardwood floor that she will dig. I always wonder if there is something under that board

She will also dig on the couch if her bone or toy gets underneath it. Mainly she throws the toy and it slides under there. Once she realized we would come running when she would dig on the couch to make her stop she now does it for attention. But its really funny b/c her ears rotate out and she has this really intense look on her face so i try not to laugh as i make her stop.

She just learned to dig outside...of course she is going after bugs to eat them

the holes are about 1 inch deep and 2 inch wide so i just go back and push the dirt back in w/ my foot and the next day she does it again.

mrlmonroe · 04-10-2008, 08:17 AM

Jeanie digs at her daddy - and he always gets annoyed with her. There is never anything there, and she digs and digs. I think it's funny...he doesn't
