Hot Diggity Dog!

Every since I've had Reacher, one of his favorite pastimes has been digging holes. He started his very first one when he was only about 10 weeks old. It was along the foundation of the house. And it was pretty impressive for such a little puppy.

Since then he's expanded his digging to various spots around the yard. He is partial to digging at the base of trees--maybe he has a thing for roots. But he also digs in wide open spaces. Sometimes he goes back to a previous hole, making it deeper or wider. More trench-like.

He goes into some kind of a zone when he digs, like a crazed maniac. His front paws fly furiously and so does the dirt. It's something to witness.

One of his most recent efforts unearthed a black cable, which he nearly chewed in half, and a small box. When I saw it I ran inside and checked all the utilities. Fortunately, everything was still operational. So I decided the cable belongs to the previous telephone carrier. It seems like we bundled our phone, Internet and cable services just in time. 


Check out this impressive array of holes, all Reacher's handiwork. Unfortunately, my photography doesn't really do them justice. But you get the idea.
