My dog, Spunky, and I like playing hide and seek. Him and I
are the only ones that play so we play different from your idea.
First, I get a handful of his food. Then, I throw a piece and while
he goes and gets it I run and hide. Sometimes he runs around the
house two or three times, but other times he finds me right away!
After he finds me, I give him another piece of the food that I have
in my hand. Then we play until we get tired. Him and I have lots
of fun playing this type of hide and seek and we hope you do to!

of the water. I think she's an adorable poochy! Hayley, age 13
