Lady does the digging at the laminate at times...it's like she can't decide where to lay down...ocasionally she will do the panting thing too. it never lasts all that long and for her I think it is because she did get hot and she tries to find somewhere cool to lie down...instinct for dogs is to dig to cooler dirt to lie in....maybe put a towel in the freezer for a bit and see if she wants to lie on it.
