[Fluff] My dog turns its Squeaky Toys into Landmines to cause Impromptu PlayDog Talks

I let my dog have access to a few squeaky toys 24/7 because she has a few she loves playing with and won't destroy. She has a toybox where she knows they belong (taught her toys go there), and she will sometimes follow that rule. However, she will often strategically place the toys in hard-to-see places where we commonly walk (e.g., right around a corner or right at the foot of the bed). The reason is thus: When we step on a squeaky toy, it squeaks LOUDLY, (At that point it becomes more of a shrieky toy.) and she immediately comes over superexcited because squeaky toy squeak = play time. It is a clever method she has found to get play at random, unexpected intervals? Waking up? PLAY TIME! Going to the bathroom? PLAY TIME! Walking around while stuck in a 3hr meeting? PLAY TIME!

It's a really cute and clever way she has found to control us and get what she wants. Anyone else's dogs do things like this?
