Frenchie Tink

Does anyone else have a dog that spends 10 or more minutes searching for a place to hide a bone you just gave them?

Every time we give Tink a rawhide bone that she knows is going to take a while for her to eat, she looks all over the house for places to hide the bone. She sometimes spends hours finding the perfect hiding place and after she has found her place she keeps watch of the bone and if anyone goes near her hiding place she quickly follows them. She was even doing this before we got Chubs as if she thought we were going to steal her bone.

I remember when Tink was about 4 or 5 months old, Lisa and I came back from PetSmart with the biggest bone Tink had ever seen (at that time). Her eyes lit up and she immediately took the bone gratefully. But then her eyes changed, all of a sudden she was focused on something, something very important, an emergency. With the bone in her mouth, Tink walked with a determined pace to find somewhere to stash her bone.  She was serious about finding the perfect place and no place was good enough. Not the nooks in the couches, under the bed or behind the pillow. She had to find that perfect spot to place her bone.

Long story short, she does this all the time and even more now that Chubs is around. Luckily Chubs can care less about those kinds of things. We’ve found bones hidden under blankets, in closets, inside our shoes, under rugs, you name it. Most of the time, she forgets where she hides them. But when she does find it, she’s happy as can be and will only bring it out once we are all asleep. I think it’s quite funny.

We want to hear more places your little buddies has stashed their goodies.
