I noticed my doggy, 3 yrs old, mix rotty, burying his doggy biscuits. Usually, he wolfs them down and begs for another. He's not interested in his food either.
Rubbing his tummy, I hear a lot of rumbling gassey noises.
Could he have an upset tummy that will pass, or is it serious?

I have a rotty mix dog as well, she carries her chewy around and cries, once we let her outside w/ chewy in mouth, she buried it. She has tried to bury her chewy under our couch blankets, its weird, however, bring another dog into the house and she will chew her chewy up asap! I think it's their instinct, save it for later... kind of thing, I'm no expert, though.

I don't allow or encourage that behavior. I think dogs protecting something they have buried have caused a many of a child to get bitten. If I give my dogs something to eat and they start that whining or looking for a place to bury it, I make them give it back to me. While I understand that it is instinct there is really no need for it.
