| Yes, I think it's in their instinct to dig, that's for sure! They also like to go GET things as well as jump on and off crazy heights just to give us heart attacks! |

| Hercules is constantly trying to dig into the couch! It's funny. He sometimes tries to dig into us, like the side of us when we're sitting on the floor with him.

| If I pretend not to pay attention to Carter during a game of fetch and lay down on the floor, he comes dig into me. I was doubled over in laughter the first time he did it. His ritual of burying greenies (he refuses to eat them and prefers to bury them) in corners of the room or behind things was one of the very first things he did when he came to live with us. What took the cake (an American expression for our over the pond members that wonder what the heck I just said) was pushing the imaginary dirt over the goody. At first I wondered if he was nuts until I read that other pups where doing the same thing.

| Graice will bury anything..........pieces of dog food, treats, greenies and tries to cover them up.......mostly in-between the sofa cushions!!!!!!!!! I find greenies in closets, under the bed, behind doors, I even found one in the cats litter box She cracks us up with her "hiding" of treats..........most of the time if we are watching her she will glance over her shoulder and leave the room with it........so WE don't know where it is, but I assure you SHE does..... These yorkies are too much |

| When we play catch with Luigi, he does the same thing. If we lie there and play dead too and he goes crazy digging right next to us. I wonder why they do that. One time my hubbie was laying there for quite a while and Luigi was going to town with his digging, then after he just layed down and rolled over with all 4 of his paws up in the air!!! It was sooo funny!!! Which by the way, is his favorite way to sleep. But Luigi doesn't do the hiding thing. I give him a treat and he eats it right away. The greenies, yep, eats those too right away even though it takes him forever!!! He definately loves to jump off high things, especially the bed, which drives me crazy. I freak out every time I see that ! |
