| Sushi is a weirdo!!!! A friend gave me a box of very nice doggy cookies from a fancy doggy bakery. (I actually tasted a little piece and they taste fantastic, haha). Anyways, I gave them each one cookie, and everybody went about their own business, finding a quiet corner and going at the cookie….for hours (it takes my little squirts hours to go through a single cookie). Anyways, they all did that except for Sushi. First she walked around with the cookie in her mouth, she kept walking till she found a spot to “bury” the cookie. Then she changed her mind, took it out and went to another corner to “bury” the cookie. she kept going from one corner to another, until she finally settled on the corner of her bed, in the crease. after that, she spent the entire evening sitting there, “watching” the cookie, making sure nobody gets anywhere near it. She would even snap if any of the cats or dogs even accidentally walked by. She didn’t even come to bed at night. She spent the whole night in her bed, facing the corner where the cookie was hidden. She’s ok with me taking the cookie, doesn’t snap or anything . But she keeps staring at my hand and following me everywhere until she gets it back. Today I went home at lunch. Same story. she stayed in the bedroom “guarding” the cookie (same cookie, she doesn't eat it). A couple of times she came out to the living room, where I was sitting with the rest of the gang. Of course she was carrying the cookie in her mouth, god forbid if she leaves it alone for a sec. But then quickly she went back to the bedroom where her bed is, and “buried” it again. And stayed there to watch it. Should I be concerned? Or should I just let her be? Why is she doing this????? It’s kinda cute. and it’s not bothering anyone. I just don’t want things to escalate.

| I know, it's funny and cute. I just hope it doesn't excalate to some sort of an agressive behavior. Sushi is the sweetest, best natured girl ever.

Thor's Human Donating Member | Maybe she's doing a sibling rivalry thing. You know, all her brothers and sisters have eaten their cookie, and now she can lord it over them that she saved hers. Last edited by QuickSilver; 09-22-2009 at 12:33 PM. |

| Maybe in the future, you give the others their cookie whole and break hers up into pieces so she will eat it right away? Not sure this will work, but that is what I would do. Sounds cute but she has to be seriously anxious and worried 24/7 about that cookie and for her piece of mind, I would help eliminate the problem by only giving her tiny pieces so she has to eat it instead of "protecting" it.

| Jada does that with biscuit type treats too..I had never thought of breaking them up in pieces. Thats a great idea. I've always wondered why she does this. I wonder if she was the runt of her litter and didn't get enough when she was a pup? I wish we could read their little minds.

| Thank you. I luuuuuuuuuv Sushi (the food), it's probably my favorite food. It was my boyfriend's idea to call her Sushi, since I'm so in love with "Sushi" And she did look like a dark little sushi roll when she was a baby
