Default Bowser Buries Treasure

I took this video last night on my phone, and it's always soo dark and hard to see! Well today I put my not that technical mind to use, and used a program to lighten it up! Now, unfortunately, you can see how dirty the room is *LOL* But i DID clean it today! I was lax..hey i started a new job! Makes sense there'd be clothes all over the floor then, right? Does that make sense?
Anyway, my baby is silly and adorable! : )

LOL! Oh Bowser, you silly boy. Daisy will still find it!

Winston got a chew stick last week when Molly was at the vet for her ACTH test. I needed him occupied so I could work. When he was ready to take a nap, he spent a good 10 minutes trying to "bury" it in different spots. Molly came home and found it right away and stole it. Poor boy...he tried so hard.

PS - your room looks like mine. I didn't clean it today. You've got one up on me

I have seen bassets separated by decades and a thousand miles do that exact same thing. They are hard wired to dig and bury, and if they can't bury in the dirt, they will bury in anything they can. I just wish I didn't find stuff buried in my pillows, or in my clean laundry.

I will find bones buried in a basket of towels, or hubby will find one when he goes to sit in his recliner.

The other day, Boomer "buried" one in the corner of the living room, then laid down and stared at it.

Oh Bowsah, my person says u r so cute!!

my wiener dog predecessor did that a lot more than i do, using his nose like u do Bowsah. Once, he rubbed off all his skin on the top of his nose & had a red raw spot there for awhile. Rugburn! (it was from doing that with the carpet)

PB & Bowser separated at birth? I think so. One tax season I had bank statements all over the office floor & I heard rustling coming from the office which is usually not a good sign. I went in to find her burying her rice dinner in my bank statements. They were no longer sorted chronologically & had brown rice stuck to them!!!

Mr. Peabody does this as well. I have given him ice cubes & he gets quite upset when he goes back to retrieve them! I love seeing all the great looking bassets here. I don't always post but do enjoy reading & seeing the pics.

This was really the first time I'd seem him going at it. We have on and off given him bones before bed when we don't like prolonging the nighttime romp, and he does...but he used to just leave it on the floor. What started this was I guess when i've been at work in the evenings lately, hubby was given them these smelly bones that I hated to use them up when i wasn't around to smell them. Daisy has been trying to steel his.

So, now we bury bones I guess *lol*

Right before this, he told me two stories:

One story was that he took the smellybone with him to his food bowl for dinner one night. He couldn't figure out how to eat, and how to keep the bone safe, so he tried to eat with the bone in his mouth (while my husband sat watching land laughing hysterically) then he decided he could put the bone in the bowl with the food, and growl at Daisy while she sharked around looking for an opportunity.
After dinner, it was stinky bone time.

The second story is from later in the week...we had the same issue in that it was dinner time! But what to do with stinkybone?? He stared at it, left it in the kitchen bed (oh yes, beds in every room) then decided he could eat his dinner and still position himself to watch the bone. Daisy gulped down her dinner, and then slowly meandered into the kitchen. To which Bowser growled at her....so she SPRINTED in and grabbed the bone, and then ran off! Both hubby and Bowser thought she hadn't gotten the bone. But it turns out she had! Poor bowser finished dinner and searched and searched, so hubby gave him the last bits in the bag just for him *lol*

Last little story...when we first got Daisy she would try to hide her bone by...putting it in the middle of the staircase. Or, looking high up on a shelf, standing on her back legs, and trying to put it up on the tv or something. It was so funny. She never, ever tried to actually bury it.

Just after we adopted Anabelle, she used to run away to eat her food. I think it was a survival instinct. One day I was picking up some clothes off the floor and I found dog food that she had buried in the pile of clothes. Thankfully for our cleanliness she doesn't do that anymore :P
