| It's normal. Here's my funny story from the first time Coby tried to hide a treat. He carefully paced the entire room looking for the perfect spot in which to hide it from his brother. He finally found it underneath the footstool. - You'll need a bit of imagination for this - He painstakingly "dug" a nice deep hole in the carpet with his paw, lovingly placed the coveted treat down into the hole, and then carefully covered the hole with "dirt" by scooping it over the treat with his nose. Then, he stepped back to admire his handiwork and cleverness. Imagine the look on his little baby face when big brother Reggie immediately walked by and snatched the treat right off the floor. Coby couldn't figure out HOW Reggie even saw it - it was so well "buried". Coby has since gotten better at finding better hiding places.

| Do they ever grow out of this or is it something that they'll do forever?

| I don't think they ever outgrow it. Reggie still does it at 11. I think you'd better discretely check your purse before paying for purchases!!

YT Graphic Artist Donating Member | Oh yes, mine do it too! I find a nice little "treat" inside my shoes on occassion! They remember where they hide them too, and almost look offended when I take them out. It's like "Gee Mommy, don't you want it? I put it there just for you."
