Burying a Bone

[funks 1]

When a dog is looking for a hole to bury his bone in does it really matter what hole he buries it in?

Of course most dogs know some holes are deeper than others, and some holes are wider than others, but all things considered isnt the outcome generally the same no matter what hole a bone is buried in?

Based on that information wouldn't it make sense for a dog to just bury his bone in whatever hole was most convenient? (proving the age old theory of a hole is a hole is a hole)

Or is there some logic behind why a dog should be picky when it comes to choosing which hole he buries his bone in?

If a dog has respect for his bone, he will choose a good hole for it.
And that there is the history of the world part one.

He may want to consider the quality of the dirt that he is to put his bone in. If the dirt has contamination his bone may be affected and may no longer be of any use to him. Otherwise the dog could bury it in a zip lock bag to help preserve his precious bone!

That would require my dog to not snarf said bone down in 30 seconds

A hole is not just a hole!!!!!

You have to watch out for the smelly hole or when you pull the bone out it will smell too.

Then there are holes with bugs and stuff in it which will result in a rotten bone when you pull it out.


But there are holes that your bone will fit perfect in and smell like heaven as well.

Plus, doesn't he want to protect his hole from the other dogs?

It also depends on whether the dog is burying his bone in the front yard or the back yard.

Male dog........any hole.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

What about dogs that dig their own holes?

Yes, some holes are prettier then others.

Theres holes in the dirt and then theres holes in the grass.
