Help, Evie has turned into a JCB !

[MurphysMinder]

Anyone want a GSD puppy? Evie has always liked to dig the odd little hole in the garden, usually under the hedge so didn't worry too much, but in the last couple of days she has excavated the whole bl***y place. My one and only decent flower bed has 5 craters in it, another 3 in the lawn and she has no dug a big hole in the gravel path

She keeps coming back in the house, rinsing out her mouth in the water bowl, which now is morelike mud, then leaving a nice muddy trail back outside. Every time I tell her off she smiles charmingly at me and wags her tail, she is incorrigible

Sounds exactly like Xara

I was out doing my last skip out (horses) around 10.30 the other night, dogs always come with me, time to go back in, couldn't find Xara anywhere, couldn't see anything as it was pitch black.

She came eventually & I thought something had happened to her as her whole head was the most awful shade of grey!! She'd been digging, she had dirt in her eyes, in her ears, up her nose, she's a moo for taking things from the house & buying them.

I've given up on having a nice garden, we have the most strange objects dotted about out garden & it's just to cover the holes dug. What with her holes & the moles hills, looks a picture.

Our old back garden used to resemble No Man's Land. Full of deep craters and old bones!

Bear loves to dig too!! The only thing, as I'm sure you know, is that a lot of bulbs are poisonous to dogs so keep an eye out for them!!

I have to say I was also expecting to see a picture of her with her head in a hole!!

You all have my sympathy. My GSD bitch digs, the dog yard has one patch of soil (going to concrete it and spoil the fun this spring) and so far the escape tunnel is about 3 feet deep and heading under the fence, it has a bit of an elbow where she reached the wall of the house and had to change direction! How she digs in permafrost is beyond me, but her nails are well manicured.

She'll go in anything, this was an igloo started by my daughter but it collapsed, so Poppy took it over, did some excavation and settled in for the duration.

In summer the dogs dig pits to keep cool in. This hole is one of many around the place it was in the early stages of construction when this was taken but ended up about 2' deep by the end of summer, Rip is a Bouvier x, not a small dog.
