Hiding Things

[Susan Malone]

Lizzy has begun to take her chew things and hide them, saving them for later I presume.  She will find a crease in the couch and shove her chew toy into the crease then try to cover it with a blanket.  The other day on hour hike she picked up my gloves and walked away to a place where she dug a hole, dropped in the gloves, and then covered them with leaves.  I've never had a dog do this before.  Is this a doodle thing?

[Pat and Traveler]

Lizzy is a smart girl--saving for the future.  :)  Trav doesn't hide anything, he piles all the toys around my chair when I'm at the computer.  He seems to be convinced I'll play with him if he just brings the right toy.  It works pretty well, as I'll usually start laughing at him and then give up on the computer and play.
