    I would love to see your Jack/Beagle mix. When we got Truman we were told he was a Puggle (Pug/Beagle) like Lincoln and we went with it. Of course now we know he is not and we think he is a Jug :)

    she is a rescue. and she is a witch! no joke! she has the jack colors,beagle ears and bark.

    My 100 lb Akita-German Shepherd mix does this (Dog on the right in my avatar) Sometimes she isn't happy just messing up the blankets, she has to push the cushions off too!!!

    My Siberian/Shiba makes herself a pillow with her microfleece throw that's folded on the end of her bed - which is on my bed by her choice. My Border Collie/Lab is my nest maker. Lately it's been on her extra bed in the bathroom with one of my shoes covered with a microfleece throw for a pillow. At first I was nervous letting a dog use half of a $130 pair of shoes, but she just uses it to build the pillow. Former strays living the life of leisure!

    We got a "used" lab-mix several years ago. She was 10. She is a nester...has to dig her spot. She was not allowed on furniture but when we were not home she dug holes straight through the couch cushions. We had to throw it out. We now put her in the basement when we are not home. We started getting her cushions that she uses when we are home and can keep an eye on ther. She's dug through 3 of them in the past two years. She's also digging big holes under my large hostas in the yard to find a cool and shady spot. It's frustrating, but is instinct and can't train her otherwise.

    Ours has to rearrange his floor blanket. Works on it until he gets it just right and then sleeps on the carpet.
