Stan and the bully stick.

I purchased Stan and Cricket bully sticks for some chew time. (if you are not familiar with bully sticks they are a healthy alternative to rawhide, rawhide is not safe for dogs, bully sticks are fully digestable)

Cricket grabbed hers and headed up to our bedroom. Stan, bully stick in mouth, kept pacing and whining by the back door. Thinking he needed to do some business, I let him out. He searched around and found a spot, dug a small hole, put his treasure in it and gracefully covered the hole and stick up. Whew, it was safe.

When Cricket went outside a bit later, of course I had to watch. I think it took her only 3 minutes to find it. Rest assured, I chased her down and retrieved it and will save it for when he is in his crate.
