OK just a dumb observation/question here:

When you give your dogs bones (wether it's rawhide or beef bones or turkey bones or whatnot) - does your dog eat them immediately? My dog used to go right into em, but as he got older (especially the last 3 or 4 months) he's developed this strange habbit - he gets super excited about his new bone, takes it in his mouth n runs around the whole house with it in his mouth and his ears back for a good 10 minutes, then I go see where he's at - no bone in sight, some further investigation reveals that he tried to HIDE the bone, usually its a stupid obvious location like under a chair in the dining room, or sometimes he actually pushes it into a bean bag till you can't even see its there - he then finds the bone again and runs around with it some more and hides it somewhere else, he repeats this probably some 20 times over the period of 3 days, then finally on the 3rd or 4th day he finally lays down and chews the heck out of it for a few hours.. after that he just chews the bone when he's bored at night and it's bed time. Is it just my oddball dog that likes to do this? I'm very amused by it, but sometimes when he's bouncing off the walls I wish he'd break his 3 day rule and chew the dang bone lol.
