    I have to admit it, I love to watch dogs dig. Most of ours were diggers when they were puppies but they seemed to have outgrown it.

    Our backyard is for the girls, so it's gone "natural." The girls have trampled down most of the dirt, but they've saved one small raggedy patch of grass for "grazing!"

    I have a dog that will never outgrow it, so long as she can hear the moles chewing the grass roots beneath her!

    My other dog just builds nests, and then goes back there time and again and digs a little more to find the cool spot on a hot day. Unfortunately, he likes to dig under trees and bushes and expose the roots.

    MtDarby, another thing to when you can't have him leashed to you is to crate him when he's in the house. They usually won't soil their den. A crate may seem cruel at first but it's better than being rehomed because he pees in the house.

    rreddDesign, that's one gorgeous cat. And unbelievable pictures. You have a great eye for "catness".

    Thanks Lots of practice taking pics of cars in motion makes it a bit easier to catch cats.

    Thanks again ladies. The digging I can tolerate, it's the peeing.

    My elkhound was a digger. She convinced my border collie to give it a try so I put tabasco sauce in the hole. Once the bc licked his paws he never dug again. The elkhoud? Well, she licked her paws, looked me straight in the eye and kept digging Rusty's a spitz so I'm sure he will dig again!

    He still won't go into his crate voluntarily. I've tried bones, treats, his food and still won't go in. We'll keep working on it!
