I just noticed my Yorkie hiding her chew bone the other day. Her previous owner said that Gracie would bury bones next to my house, so if I ever dig there I'll probably find them. I find this behavior adorable but I know it must be instinctual for them. The "rubbing her nose on the floor" is something I have seen my Gracie do, as well, after she finds just the right hiding place for her treat. I believe it is also instinctual... just imagine her pushing imaginary dirt over the top of her treat with her nose. She's making sure that no one else will find it!
