Dachshunds are known for their burrowing and liking to cover themselves completely. It comes from what they were originally bred for, badger hunting, (dachs - badger, hund - hound in German) when the plucky and deceptively strong dogs went into the setts after their prey. Their unique shape, short legs and loose skin helped them tunnel down into the ground. And now, even when dachshunds are mostly kept as pets, you frequently hear stories about them having to be dug out of holes they've decided to explore whilst on a walk.
I went into my bedroom last night and saw a small lump wriggling up under the bedspread from the bottom to the top of the bed and out popped Pepsi's head! I had to grab my phone and take a photo as he looked so cute. Whether he went there for comfort or natural instincts I'm unsure, somehow I think it was the former!
