    Is Daisy spayed? Suddenly digging holes all over might be hormones telling her to dig a den ready for pups.

    I remember when our Mist was young, still growing, and she'd dig holes and put my dads plant pots in them. When I read about another dog doing exactly the same thing, it turned out the plant pots were subtitues for pups and that the bitch might even be producing milk to feed her plant pots with. Of course, such dogs tend to turn out to be great mothers...as our Mist did....it was still funny though...plant pots as pups...

    Are the holes, deep or wide? Chances are a dog digging wide holes is trying to find a nice cool spot to lay down on a hot day. And I don't know about your area but its HOT and HUMID here! I myself might consider digging a hole to get relief

    Ah, yes, I forgot to ask if it was hot. Our Jess dug several holes during our heatwave last summer and spent the whole day in them, lol. She dug one under the large pampass grass in the shade and hid under there, lol.

    Yes it has been pretty hot, but Daisy just digs holes long and skinny... I'm pretty sure they are just for fun, not much purpose to them.

    Sounds kind of mean, but it's a very old-fashioned method (think Koehler) that has been tried and true for years. Fill the hole with water, dunk the dog's head. I thought it sounded stupid, but we were talking about it the other day --- the lady that does teeth cleaning did this with one of her dogs and Kelly's mom did this to a couple of shelties, and they never dug another hole.
    I've been BOO'd!
