Isn’t it so fun when dogs do that? My dog has this thing about pizza crusts…we normally have a blanket on the couch, and she’ll bury them in that. It’s really cute watching her do it (and she’s willing to do it right in front of us, too!)

I once had a dog who would bury nearly everything tasty she was given unless she swallowed it before she had a chance to realize it. Once she got hold of a box of baking chocolate squares and buried most of them around the house. I only found the last of them when we moved.

Fast forward a few years - same dog, different house. This time it was a block of sweeter stuff, which she stuffed into several (relatively visible) corners of the house, staining the walls and the carpets.

I know that chocolate is supposed to be bad for dogs, but either she was the exception or she never actually ate any of it.

There are lots of other hoarding tales about Dori (rest her soul - she lived to be nearly 17!). There was a loaf of bread, one of the those sugar Easter eggs… I think she even buried a potato chip in the back yard once.

Oh my goodness. That made me laugh out loud, which is always a good thing, but especially good right now!

My favorite picture of my dearly-departed Yorkie is her with windfall crabapple in her mouth looking as happy as a dog can be.

I love the Sisyphus reference; only with you, my dear, can we get knitting with a classics chaser.

Minnie is looking lovely.

just too funny. My Pug Manda used to take found objects and bury them in all the crevices she could find. Even under pillows in the bed. Thank goodness I did not have any fruit trees! Minnie is so pretty.

How many other apples has she “put away” around the house? You may be following your nose to find out.

My guy Scrat eats the pears that keep falling.

Good luck with curbing that behavior. If nothing else Scrat now knows what Drop It! means even if he generally chooses to ignore the command.

Lol.

The apple-in-sofa is also a nice testimony to all the things Shelley likes about the new house, coming, as it does, with apples and a sofa.
