This dog behavior of circling before laying down is a throw-back to their wolf origins (dogs are essentially refined,
domesticated wolves). They do that to make a bed for themselves; i.e., to stomp down the area for sleeping. It's no
big mystery.Now, re. CCD: good grief, that *is* a mystery! I think I'm going to barf.
