At some point we will all take the dirt nap.

My big (20+#) long haired tuxedo used to do the same thing in my wife's rose beds. Especially on a hot day after they'd been watered a day or so before. I think the ground was cool, and soft. He was a meat hunter, but he loved his comfort.

That was cute.

Animals can sense cool or warm spots a lot easier than you'd think.
