Remember last summer, how I was clearing out some dead birch trees, and the dogs were both helpful and unhelpful? So after all that, there's about 4.5 square feet of open dirt. When I had just removed the stumps, I had tried to clear out the debris in order to ready the ground for another tree.
Well, six months later and there's still no tree planted, but that does not mean, however, that I have given up. With all the rain from last month, the clay-like dirt was easy to work with. So I got out the pick axe and started once again to remove some residual roots.
And every time, the dogs are right there, wanting in on the action. Ritter cares about gnawing on the roots, whereas Lilah is more interested in freeing the root from the ground. However this time, since the dirt was so soft from the rains, Ritter couldn't resist.
I wasn't able to catch video of them digging, but I do have evidence from a previous event where we dumped fresh dirt into a hole.
If there's soft dirt nearby, give Ritter a good five foot radius because that dog likes to dig in all directions.
I have a picture of him lying in the ditch he dug out, but I'll have to upload that later.
