This used to work against us sleeping in when we were kids.

My mom would let Freckles (the family Saint Bernard) out to go plow through the snow for a bit, as she loved to do. When she came in, she'd say "Okay, go get Karen up!" And Freckles would happily bound up the stairs and shove that snow-covered nose behind my neck. I, so rudely awakened, would instinctively pull the covers over my head.

Which Freckles took as an invitation to play Hide and Seek! You try staying asleep with 180-pounds of excited "Oooh boy, I know this game!" dog jumping up on the bed to root you out! Sheesh! Worked every time!

She never did the hiding, but was darned good at the Seek part!

Does Diamond hide?
