I'm not sure if she's planning to stay over, but Tupac is napping on an old towel, next to my desk. She's also letting loose some seriously miasmic vapours, but that's another story.
Something I've never understood, is why every time dogs get ready to go to sleep, they circle a good few times before settling down and dozing off. Is it because one good turn deserves another?

Ooh! Ooh! I know this!
Ahem.
Well, I _think_ it has something to do with dogs' deep past. In the wild, they made beds in reeds and what-have-you. To do this, they would select the appropriate place for their bed, and then go round and round to create a "nest" of sorts in which to sleep.
Old habits die hard I suppose...

It's a cool instinct to have I think. Somehow, there's nothing more comfortable-looking than a dog that's settled down for the night :)
