Kaylee has this utterly cute routine whenever we give her a bone (re: nutradent).
First she happily takes it from you, runs away.
After about two minutes, she realizes, "I'M TRAPPED!"
"Wherever I am going to bury this thing???"
Thus commences the barely audible whining wheeze, keep in mind the bone is still fully in her mouth at this point. The whines increase, she comes to sit in front of you. The whines become an all out CRY, whimpering, whining, lips trembling, almost losing grip of the bone.
"MOM I HAVE HAVE HAVE to bury this!"
After a while, she gives up on you letting her out of the house, and chooses a location. Usually center of the carpet or her bed.
Now that she has chosen this brilliant hiding spot, she 'buries' it by dragging her nose from about 10 inches away from the bone to the bone, in a circle. It takes her about 15 nose drags to approach and nose drag from every angle around the circle. I assume if she were in sand or dirt, this would suitably drag dirt and cover the bone?
She collapses, happy, she has buried her bone. And sleeps. She'll eat it in about 12 hours!
