Grateful that you asked this Eternal...I've often wondered, so I looked it up:
"The most commonly repeated story is that the behavior is an evolutionary hold‑over from dogs’ wild ancestors. Circling may have been necessary to trample down tall vegetation and shoo away any pests hiding in the grass, making the ground more comfortable to lie on.
Others theorize that dogs in the wild preferred to sleep with their nose into the wind. Circling allowed dogs to determine wind direction. The simplest explanation is that turning in circles is just a way to orient the body into a tight curled posture as the dog lies down."
Hmmm.
Love V xx

Grateful to Venus's research and that I am not the only one who wondered this!!
Grateful for Rusty's comment which made me burst out laughing.
Grateful for FBL's avatar of Flip Wilson as Geraldine. It made me howl and brought back memories.

Grateful that even though I didn't get here by my personal deadline (midday), I still felt gratitude.
Grateful that age brings wisdom -- most of the time.
Grateful that I got up earlier than I wanted to.
Grateful for the every day.

Grateful for one year and eight months sobriety today.
Grateful it seems like yesterday yet
Grateful it feels like a billion years ago.
Grateful for all I've learned and overcome yet
Grateful I'm aware I have so much more to learn about living a sober life
