Bo loooves to dig. He hasn't ever buried anything, but loves to dig. My backyard is not in the best of condition, LOL. My front is pretty nicely landscaped, but we don't worry so much about the back. Well, there was a spot in the back that we were worried Bo could jump the fence if he tried (I live in the land of hills-nothing is flat around here). So, my husband rented a Bobcat to DIY level your own yard. As you can imagine, there is not much grass left on the far right side of my yard. I guess in the fall we'll plant grass seed but right now there's a ton of dirt (thank God you can't see it from the front). Bo is in doggy heaven! He thinks we just gave him a big place to dig, lol. I am going to take pictures this week of him digging around

Every time he comes inside, he has dirt on his nose.

My yard must look like a small park, lol. There's a bunch of dirt, dog toys, 2 swingsets, and a trampoline out there.

All of our Dobes love to dig. They lie in some holes, look for gophers in some, one digs holes and drops balls in them - he thinks it's a funny game. We have a small field dedicated just to their pleasures, and they can dig anywhere they want in there - except under the fence!

How do you stand it? I absolutely don't tolerate digging.

Everyone says "oh you shouldn't let him dig" but he takes such pleasure out of it hubby and I can't say no!!

2 of mine dig most of the time just for the fun of it, Greta digs moles out of the ground then throws them around like a toy, trouble is instead of having moles hills all over the field we now have crators.
