Diggin' It

Mom and dad have done it this time, and boy are they going to be IN TROUBLE!  Sometimes they get after Dakota and me for digging in the backyard.   (I don't know why.  Don't they know that dogs sometimes feel a need to dig.  Digging happens.)  Anyway,  nothing we could have done can compare with what they did.  What used to be a nice back yard has been transformed into a bunch of dirt and rocks.  Even Dakota's nice little patches of grass that she reclines on during the day were taken out.

Here's our before picture of the way things used to be.

Then they started digging and digging and digging.  They didn't even let us help.  Before we knew it the yard was filled with bricks, and rocks, and more rocks until it looked like this.

After many more days of watching the transformation in the back yard it finally looked like this.  Mom says the waterfall/pond still needs a little work.  Dakota and I are looking forward to spending some time in the pond when it's finished.  Woof! Woof!

Remembering Idaho

I was looking over Dad's shoulder today while he was reviewing some pictures, and I nearly barked when I saw this darling photo of me with Siera on our trip to Idaho last year.  I remember those bittersweet days.  Bitter because of all of the girly things I had to endure with Savana and Siera and sweet because of the love that both Dakota and I felt from everyone we met.

The photo shows me "dancing" with Siera.  I had to do a lot of dancing and did a lot of stepping on people's feet.  I think I need a few more lessons.

At least I didn't get my nails painted with fingernail polish like Dakota.  That would have been totally embarrassing for me, but I think Dakota liked it in a weird way.

We had a good time and miss those kids in Idaho.  We hope to see them again someday.  Perhaps they'll come and visit us and we can take them to our favorite rabbit hunting ground.

Aaarrrrfffff!  Woof!
