Psych<\/a><\/em> (USA network) is a very entertaining and funny television show about a psychic detective (Shawn<\/em>) and his partner (Gus<\/em>) who works together with the Santa Barbara police department to catch bad guys<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In a recent episode, a pair of retired detectives teach Shawn and Gus the Bark and Mark<\/em> technique. With Bark and Mark, someone in the team creates a diversion. During this diversion, the rest of the team can sneak in and rescue the hostage.<\/p>\n

A few days after watching this episode, I gave both Sephy and Shania a cheese toy<\/em> after their morning walk. The cheese toy<\/em><\/a> is simply one of their regular chew toys with added small pieces of cheese. It is a big favorite with the dogs.<\/p>\n

As usual, the dogs lie down and wait while I prepare their toys, then each of them gets one. <\/p>\n

Being a Shiba<\/a>, Sephy will always try to steal Shania’s toy after he has finished working on his own. <\/p>\n

There is no stealing allowed<\/strong>, so I usually sit with Shania until she is totally done with her toy and has moved away or fallen asleep.<\/p>\n

While Shania was still working on her toy, Sephy’s ears perk up and he runs into the living room and starts barking.<\/p>\n

As usual, I go over to Sephy and make sure there are no intruders. He stops barking<\/a> once I am there. Shania also comes along to give her support.<\/p>\n

There was nobody that I could see. When I turn around, Sephy was gone. <\/em><\/p>\n

Where was Shiba Sephy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

He had stolen Shania’s toy and was working on it contentedly! What a sneaky little rogue. <\/p>\n
