Hope both girls are soon better. I wonder if Nisha will dig her bone up and eat it when she gets her appetite back?
Probably not.
When we first got Simba, I had to leave him outside in the yard while I went to work as I couldn’t trust him in the house. I came home from work at lunch and he was sitting on the deck, pleased as punch, absolutely COVERED in mud from head to toe. He had spent the morning HAPPILY digging up all the bones that my previous dog, a Border Collie, had buried (hadn’t realized there were so many
). I’m sure Simba thought it was the best day ever.
At any rate, I think if the dog is well-fed he won’t go back to a buried bone. It’s just a natural impulse some dogs have but if they don’t really need it, they won’t go back. Just a very unscientific opinion based on an experience of one dog, mind you!
. She starts barking as soon as we open our front door, or a car pulls up, or a hunter walks anywhere near. I can hear them clearly when they do bark, they're not far from the house. I also now recognise different barks, such as "where's my lunch" vs "J has arrived home" vs "STRANGE DOG ALERT".
