Happy greyhound's bed making

Curt wants to sleep close to you when we watch TV. So he unsuccessfully tries to make the carpet nice and fluffy. It's funny to me when he looks upstairs where his night bed is. It's like him saying "you know, I don't have to do this if you guys just go upstairs with me and go to bed... (sigh)"

This isnt cute. Greyhounds lack padding and need soft places to lay. Give the poor dog a bed so he can lay down and be in your company. Is instigating obsessive compulsive behaviour, cute? How comfortable would you be sitting there watching tv without any couch? Please please stop laughing at his agitation and discomfort and just give your poor dog another place to lay.

Thanks your concern. It's makes me happy to see that people care about the needs of greyhounds.

Our whole house is carpeted for their safety as well. What was lacking from my description is, in this video, Curt just got up from his bed that was not even a foot away, and started scratching the carpet. He had 8 BIG beds in the whole house in every room and hallway, and another in the bedroom. No worries. :-)

I've lost some carpet this way but still love my dog, give me the hole in the carpet and the dog, rather than a perfect carpet in a no-dog house.

Our grey does the same thing, and he has beds all over our house, too!

@petitemoineau Same here. Some of 'em just like to "dig" at the carpet.

Ours has a bed in the living room.

They really are comfort monsters grey's, mine does this when his bed is in the wash, and then looks at me and makes me feel guilty! Nothing like a comfy bed - and your grey is just gorgeous!

I had a (mostly) greyhound who trashed my carpets but I loved him dearly and miss him as much now as a year ago. Greyhounds rule.

The ancient canine had to scrape up hard ground, dig sleeping dens for safety and kill bugs in order to make a spot to sleep. This "hard wired" behavior remains instinctive in your dog and is a reason why they turn in circles, scratch the carpet and rumple up blankets before lying down. i.e. It's quite likely that they don't even know why they're doing it - it's just instinct.
