A Dirty Passion

The boys have been busy playing, as usual, of course. The rest of us have been busy working, as usual, of course. All of the helpful tips and comments we have received, have been much appreciated. I am sorry that I have not had time to respond to each comment, but I am buying out time to do so this week.

The boys do have a little digging problem, that we are currently working on, for fear that they injury themselves in the holes they have dug. Just the other day, Rusty fell in a hole while running. He looked around, as if to say, "Who put that hole there?" Like he didn't know who did it. Those little rascals are better diggers than Bugs Bunny! When I have caught them digging, they are usually digging with all their heart, like they are searching for some valuable treasure. So far, all they have dug up is dirt and junk. Yet, it seems to be their passion, particularly, when they are bored. We are all working on the problem, including Rusty and Smoky. They appear very guilty after digging a new hole, I think sometimes they just can't help themselves. We are considering positive solutions to help them fulfill or find a new passion. In the meantime, we have put pieces of wood around fruit trees, so that little beaver-dogs don't uproot them.
