I'd never heard of anyone else experiencing this! It definitely isn't a male thing - neutered or otherwise. Our youngest (1 year old next week) does the same thing.
She has one toy in particular that she will pick up, carry around the house, and whimper as she seems to be looking for a place to hide the toy. She never does it with any other toy (and our dogs have dozens of toys), and she only does it within a half hour or so after meals.
I found it interesting and a little funny, but I didn't really try to figure out what was going on. Now that I hear that other dogs do it, I'd really like to know why! |
