Why does Gabe do this?

We do last outs at 10, then turn the tv volume down and just leave a few nightlights on. Without fail, as soon as everyone settles down Gabe goes in his crate and scratches furiously on the bottom. He does this only at night :twisted: . I know the obvious solution is to close and lock the door so he can't get in (and it works when I remember to do it) but why does he do it? When I try to get him out he looks at me like I'm insane and ruining his fun 8O

Clyde used to do the same thing, only in the bathroom. He'd scratch the tile furiously before he settled in to sleep. I always just assumed he was insane.
His making his nest comfy for the night :lol:

Tweet sleep Gabe :lol:

Kelsey is a scuncher and turns 40 times (well it seems like that) and always re-arranges the bed before she finally goes off into noddy land. :wink:
Nigel digs in his crate sometimes too...he still sleeps in there however. At 9 months "I don't trust him". He still eats inappropriate things. ARGH!!!
That's so cute! Boni runs, plays, wrestles, and runs a little more and then DROPS down and falls asleep. :lol: He doesn't circle, he doesn't try to make his bed comfy, he just drops down.
Just to clarify, Gabe doesn't sleep in his crate, he sleeps in the hallway or against the doorwall. He goes in his crate only when he knows it's time to settle down, maybe it's his way of saying he wants a later bedtime :roll:
Gabes way of "bedding down"
He is basically fluffing his pillows
My dogs do it constantly before they lay down and spin the circles too!
Maybe he is looking to see where his mint is before bedtime :lol:
