Heee...the mal-rescue lady I got my old boy Jake through had a malamute who was raised with a ferret. When the pup was little, he and the weezil would roll around together roughhousing like a pair of puppies. And they remained bestest buddies as they grew up, but of course the malamute GREW and GREW and GREW while the ferret remained the same size. Eventually, the ferret figured out that he could fit into spaces where the dog could no longer go, and began to take advantage of this by running and hiding with toys in inaccessible spots, like dead center underneath a king-size bed.
However, malamutes are very smart, creative thinkers, they will approach problems from all sorts of unconventional angles. And this pup, realizing that (1) his toy was RIGHT THERE under the bed and (2) he couldn't go UNDER the mattress to retrieve it...decided that the logical plan of attack was from above.
He didn't stop digging until he hit the box spring. ;)
