Hide and Seek
We have a toy poodle who begs and cries for toys and/or water empty plastic water bottles (we take off label). He grabs the toy or bottle and shoves it as far as he can under the couch, or wedges it between the desk and the wal,l or shoves it behind book shelves...the more impossible to get, the better. He manages to use those little poodle paws, in an arch, to push it as far as he can.
Then, he sits next to the item and cries, whines, talks, seeks out people to help him get the item for hours. You can ignore him, but he won't stop. Reminds me of game little ones play dropping toys from a highchair and waiting for mom and dad to pick them up. The only thing that stops his crying for the toy and hiding it is taking him outside to play. When he gets back inside though, he parks himself next to the item of furniture where the toy is and the whining continues. He lives 5 hours away (with my daughter), but each time she comes home, he heads straight for the area he hid the toy. If he thinks we found it and hid it, he searches the house carefully, even stopping in the garage to look on the table just in case we didn't hide it well.
When I went to move our couch in a whimsical change furniture mood, I found 12 plastic water bottles stashed under it. This fun poodle "game" is exhausting!:curl-lip:
