Evie (my 12 week baby) hides her food

lol

Is this a normal behavior??

I mean.. she doesn't hide the normal food.. she hides the raw hides and treats.. I am so confused.. Yesterday... I found an Iams bone IN MY PURSE

Kayah's never ever had this type of behavior.. and it's soo weird/different to me.. I mean, I know dogs bury bones.... but we're not outside for cryin out loud!

Yes, its normal!!! Brodie does it all the time! I think its pretty funny. And how cute that she put it in your purse!!!!!

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.

My furbaby hides treats all the time. She will go back later & eat them.
She knows exactly where they are too!

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!!

lol.. you know I will be doing that from now on

I'll also be checking my coat pockets and shoes

xmasbaby75 · 02-17-2008, 12:17 PM

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."
