This morning my husband and I were enjoying some alone time in our room and talking and he says "Shhh hold on." So we are silent a few minutes and then he says "Oh nevermind I thought I heard a squeak toy". We don't leave the dogs with squeak toys unsupervised because they can destroy them and swallow the squeakers within minutes... We know this from experience.
We return to our conversation and then suddenly I hear it. "No... I just heard a squeaker too" So we head out to the living room and kitchen to check. The kitchen gate is wide open (we always lock Diesel in the kitchen when unsupervised) and he is slunk down in guilty pose staring up at us.... We hunt around for said squeaker sound source and find in his toy box in the living room a soaking wet squeaky toy.
Turns out he snuck out to the living room because husband forgot to set the child lock on the gate (he can open it if the child lock isn't set) and had been playing with the squeaker toy and listening for us so as not to get caught. When our conversation stopped he stopped playing. When he heard us leave the room he was smart enough to put the toy back in the box and sneak back to his kitchen area. The only thing he isn't smart enough to do is close the gate behind him and not act guilty. Still that Diesel of mine is one smart puppy.
