| Finn Hiding a Bone Tequesta, FL May 1, 2025 |
Yes, he is lovable--but, at the same time, he is demanding.
Yesterday, for example, he got into a barking mood. He was unhappy about something and neither Chris nor I could figure out what he needed. As a result he received a walk, more food in his dish, fresh water, a treat, another treat, and then finally a small bone to play with.

The bone did the trick. He stopped barking and spent time finding the perfect hiding spot for the bone.
We try not to give him too many of the bones because he does not eat them, rather he hides them around the house and sometimes we step on them. We love watching him hide his bone. He engages in what we call "urban renewal" in that he moves stuff around and diligently puts the bone in a "safe" place for future retrieval. Sometimes the safe place is in the sofa.
After he spends time--sometimes as much as 30 minutes, hiding the bone he relaxes and life in the house gets back to normal.
Just to be clear, he does not get real animal bones, but commercially available Dreambones made with chicken and not rawhide. Sometimes he does eat the bone--but lately they are more of a soothing plaything.
It is all just part of the pace of life around the house.
