Petey the Peculiar

The last time we took Petey to be groomed, we asked that they not clip his face quite so close and especially leave his nose a little fluffier. Well he came out looking soooo weird. Some times I look at him and thing he has the wart hog look and sometimes he looks like a snowy owl (they trimmed around the lower part of his eyes and down the top of his nose) But that is not the reason he is peculiar ;-). You know how most dogs like to bury things. Well Petey is all dog in that he loves to bury his bisquits and his Dingo's as well (Dingo's are little raw hides with a bright red 'strip of meat' inside that he loves. Trouble is that Petey hide things in our leather couch or under either Wood's or my arm or as in the case of Sat night on top of our bed. Poor little guy pretends that where ever he is hiding it is really in a pile of about 2 ft of very soft dirt. He pushes and pushes and pushes with his nose to get that invisible dirt to make his treat oh so invisible. Not exactly sure how he decides he is done (maybe when he has scraped a sufficient amount of skin off of the top of his nose) but after about 5 minutes he is usually satisfied that the invisible dirt has truly covered his still-in-very-plain-sight treat (kind of hard to push leather around with your nose... or my arm or Wood's and oh how cruel we are when we actually 'expose' the treat. Such looks we get.
