I have two sons and my wife and a very nice and expensive collection of mint stamps. My question is, who do I leave it to since nobody but me seems at all interested in it?

Why does my dog only eat treats over carpet? He picks them up, takes them off of our hardwood floor, and into a carpeted room to eat.
Could be the noise of crunchy and dropping and ripping his treat on the wood is louder than the carpet

My dog only eats treats if i throw them (not right at her, she will run) .. she wont take them from my hand....
