    I had a HUGE problem with dogs digging under my fence, both my own dogs AND my neighbors dog. All three dogs ended up getting bitten at least once and Bud and my neighbor's dog ended up with stitches!

    I ended the problem by using chicken wire and wooden slates nailed to the fence (I have a wooden fence) to keep the chicken wire in place and bricks to keep the bottem edge down.

    I know you have a chain link fence so you could use zip ties/plastic tie wraps to keep the chicken wire attached to the fence and using bricks, rocks.. etc. to keep her from digging up the bottom of the chicken wire.

    My suggestion would be to put something around the edge of the yard that she can't dig. You can put patio blocks or something like that for about 12" wide in front of the fence, so she cannot dig along the fence line. Or you can section off the area around the fence with bushes or a flower garden. Something that will enhance the appearance of the yard, not be a permanent addition, and yet keep Ginger from the fence at the same time. I think if I had a yard, that is what I would do.
