The Hunt Is On

While I got to sleep in a little this morning, Rob and the Easter bunny hid biscuits in the freshly mowed yard. It's a beautiful sunny day for an Easter biscuit hunt.

After fortifying myself with a cup of coffee, we headed for the yard. As we got to the door it hit me how diminished the pack is. I thought back to the years when Morgan, Tsar, Samba, Fudge and six Portie pups were eager to start looking for hidden treats.

Now we have four aging Porties, two incorrigible hounds and a sulky shepherd waiting to find whatever is hidden in the yard.

 

 

As soon as the first biscuit was discovered everyone started hunting. They were all hidden in easy spots this year because arthritic legs don't allow for jumping and climbing as in other years.

 

 

The hunt was a big success. Mackey probably found the most but everyone had plenty of treats.

 

Even Sydney got to play once the initial excitement calmed down.

Where is Sebastian? Well, all last week he wanted to go in the dog castle to sleep in the big hole he's dug in there. He couldn't get in because of the cone on his head and the leash attached to a human.

Now his eye is healed and he spent several hours in his house yesterday. Today he headed straight for the house again and refused to come out to play.  Expecting his reaction, I had tossed a couple biscuits inside and I heard him crunching.

Finally everyone had eaten enough biscuits and started heading toward the house. Several stopped to thank Rob for this fun event.

Sebastian decided after three hours to come inside to cool off.

Another successful biscuit hunt in the books.
