[Sadie's Mom]

Sadie invented her own game:

She goes to the cabinet where she knows I keep her food, treats, chews, etc. and will stand there and bark until I open it up. Knowing what she wants, I reach in and give her one of her chews (the dental CET chews I get from the vet). Then she runs over to her bed that I keep in the living room and begins to bury it. I usually will throw a towel in the bed just so she can bury it better. Side note: seriously bad hair when she is finished burying since she uses her head to cover it up...I'll have to get a pic one of these days

When she's finished burying it, she backs up and starts barking at it. She will NOT quit barking until I go over there and make a big deal out of finding it. "Where is it? OH, look!! THERE IT IS!! MOMMY FOUND IT!!" Then I give it back to her and she'll go find somewhere else to bury it. The couch, her toy box, etc. She's really getting creative with her spots & is starting to go to other rooms with it and she comes to tell me when she's finished and I follow her to that room. She usually kind of shows me where it is and then I "find" it all over again.

She plays this for an hour or so & then will finally sit down & just chew on the thing. It's funny, though, because this is the only thing she does like this. All her other toys are played with like they're supposed to be.
