We have been having a lot of rain lately. I am glad. We really need it and it keeps me from having to water. Less work, is good. Actually, it just frees me up to do something else. I have plenty of other things to do to fill the time.
Today I did laundry, fed the worms, worked on some veggies, fixed dinner, changed my bed sheets, fixed a hole under the fence where Bad Dog got out. Yes, she got out! What can I say...she earned her name.
The Lad and I were watching...SUPER HIGH ME...and I heard the dogs across the street barking. I looked out the window, to see Bad Dog causing trouble.
You see, she has been digging out for some time now. I have been doing different things to discourage her. I think she is chasing rabbits, they go under, so she thinks she can go under. When she can't, she digs...THEN she goes under.
To stop her, I filled the hole with rocks and dirt. Then I put boards flat on top of the dirt. Then I staked a 6 foot metal grate on top. Then I put 4X4 posts on top. So...even if she digs under, there is obstacles on the other side that she can't move. It is like a puzzle. I am hoping it even stops the rabbits. For a little while at least.
Tomorrow I will take a picture to show you. The Lad was amused at he term puzzle. She really is a smart dog. What we really need is a new fence, with lots and lots of concrete. Maybe a good chain. I sure hate to do that...but we have to protect her. Brat dog.
