A couple of weeks ago I bought Boston my Border Collie a new toy to play with as he had ripped the stuffing out of his old one. The first thing he did was run outside with it. Normally he runs around the garden tossing his toys into the air and jumping after then and running round in circles etc in his play. This time he came back inside alone! I searched the garden many times, probing the bushes, digging through where he has dug and found absolutely nothing. Complete and utter mystery. Now after a two week absence said missing treasure was found in the doorway of my computer room this morning. Bedraggled and filthy, it is enjoying a cycle or two in the washing machine!

I reckon the pirates of old should have hired Boston to hide their ill gotten gains.
