jdmklein | The rawhide mystery solved.

The first weekend of every month the mattress gets turned. You know, head to toe, side to side, top to bottom. Usually Master helps with this but today because it was just head to toe, i did it myself. i learned two things today. 1) The cleaning lady does not always move the bed when she does the bedroom floors. No big thing, i know she has a schedule and it gets moved regularly. 2) i know where Max has been hiding his rawhide squares. i knew he had been burying them between the mattress and the headboard ocaisionally. He has decided that he likes his master's bed better than he likes his couch. Because of this i have had to keep the bedroom door shut during the day. Sometimes i forget, and that's when Max would 'bury' his treat. Well, apparently i have forgotten more often than i thought. As i was shoving the mattress back, i discovered Max's stash; eight rawhide squares, and a rawhide bone. He had buried them in the bed and they fell through to the floor. Right now Max has two squares soaking in his water dish and i just caught him trying bury the bone again in the tree pot.

Two thoughts about this. Either he was abandoned and left to starve at a very early age, and we truly did save his life when he adopted us nearly three years ago, or, he is first generation domestic. He has all the traits of a ferral animal.
