Snuggling up togetherYesterday I saw Rusty in their toy basket (yes, they have a toy basket), which is in our spare bedroom, scratching, sniffing and just generally going to town in it. I assumed he was looking for a specific toy because both him and Lila have been known to favour certain tatty old toys.
A little while later I saw him parade, very spitefully I might add, in front of Lila with a treat clamped between his teeth.
I knew he had the tendency to try and bury his treats in blankets, pillows or my jeans but usually only until Lila finishes hers and then he'd quickly gobble it down just in case she tries to take it from him.
Imagine my surprise when one of his covert hide the treat operations actually worked.
It was one of the cutest things I had seen in a while.
Lila didn't appreciate it though. She kept an eye trained on him the whole time as he lazily chewed his retrieved treat.

That is too cute!
Ha! Whenever we give the boys treats, they immediately turn and run in opposite directions and won't resurface until the treats have been eaten.
Our doxie used to spend HOURS hiding treats. She'd trot around the apartment with an intent look on her face, start digging, and finally bark demandingly. That meant we had to come out and find the treat (she was always hanging around the hiding place). We'd look, find, exclaim what a FABULOUS spot it was! and then she'd take it away for more hiding. This could go on for hours before she would finally succumb to the treat.
