Yep, I think we have a nester!
In the past, we’ve had dogs who scrap up their beds from time to time to get comfy, but Jeffie takes it to the extreme. He likes make darned sure there is enough padding for his old bones.
And he’ll turn around, not the traditional three times, but as many as fourteen or fifteen times before he’ll lay down, thus rucking his beds up even further.
Sometimes he’ll collect other beds for his bed pile. In this next picture, he has scraped together two beds plus the top part of the one Sid is lying on, leaving his companion to make do with the base -
And he looooves the comfort of a pillow for his bony old head. A whole dog bed will do for that, since his humans have not been considerate enough to provide him with a real pillow for his own use.
But don’t worry too much about Sid. He actually likes to lie on the carpet quite a lot of the time and because he’s a tripod, he feels unsafe if a bed is too squishy – hence the sleeping bag and duvet ‘dog beds’ you can see in these pictures.
And there are times he simply gets there first, leaving Jeffie to make do with the edge!
Yes, yes. I know Jeffie could simply move around and creep in the other side and have quite enough space, thank-you-very-much, but Jeffie can be a tad challenged in the common sense department at times!
Never mind. We love him just as he is … which is just as well, really, on those occasions when he throws up on the carpet.
This has me rolling with laughter. Nikki doesn’t fluff, Casper will do a little scratch, scratch every once in a while, and Freedom will fluff and circle until we’re all on the brink of madness. I’m going to try to capture some “before” and “after” pictures and may do a post on Freedom and her fluffing habits in the future. Thank you for the idea and the joy of sharing Jeffie’s fluffing artistry.

HAHAHHAHAHAHA! Jay, I had a cat who used to do the same thing. OMG…it took him and hour and a half just to settle down into one place!
GREAT photos! Especially that first one. Priceless!
Happy Sunday, my friend!

Jeffie knows about comfort and the old “first come first served” thing.

Love the doggie photos! I have to give it to old Jeffie–he doesn’t settle for second best when it comes to comfort.
As far being “a tad challenged in the common sense department at times,” I think he has a lot of company!

Ha ha ha! It think he and Blueberry are related! She will move a bed from one room to another with her fluffing or desire to stack two or three beds. It’s a source of great amusement here at our house!

Lori – Oh, you MUST! I’m looking forward to Freedom’s Fluffs! Hahahaha!!
I should tell you that in England, to ‘fluff’ doesn’t always mean the same thing. How to put this delicately … ? If you are in a room with some other people and a certain odour arises, someone might say ‘who fluffed?’.
Ron – Wow, you had a cat that did that? Was it an oriental? I don’t think I’ve ever had a cat that circled much. That’s really funny!
Carol – No kidding!!
Rob – No, Jeffie loves his comfort. He’s not above shoving Sid out of the way to get it, either, which is why we tried to give him back before we got too fond of him. Didn’t work!!
Houndstooth – Oh, Jeffie will be so proud to be in the same class as Blueberry!! I bet they’d get along really well!
I laughed so much at this. Jeffie, you light up my life gorgeous creature
Tina – Jeffie will be so pleased to know that. He’ll be asking to move in, if you’re not careful!
Thanks for popping in and leaving a comment! I appreciate it – and it made me smile.
