We once had a Lasho Apso ... and she would take her extra kibbles and soberly and methodically "bury" them in the short shaggy carpet, pushing the "soil" of carpet fibers over the kibble.

Freida Firedog. She was such a great gal. When we took her on a walk, she would sniff, then hike her leg and, just like a male, mark every last mailbox on the route!

My sister had a female poodle/terrier cross who does the same. She lives with my parents now. She is an incredibly brave dog. A few months ago, she fought off several javelinas who were in the yard, attacking my mother's other dog.

Ah, we all have such a wealth of tales about our fur children -- truly as many as we have for our "real" kids...
