Oh Logan what a timely topic! I just got in from filling up four of Bella's holes outside! I had bought a couple of bags of topsoil so I could seed some bare spots and instead had to wind up dumping them in the holes she made. (For some reason the little mound she leaves by the hole never quite fills the hole back up). She has been good about digging for several weeks now and I thought it was over. WRONG! I guess there are just some smells out there that need further exploration. We have some mole mounds along the back fence but for some reason she dug in the nicest part of the lawn! My Ashley used to dig up "chipmunk hill" almost as well as a bulldozer but I have such a thick bed of periwinkle growing there now that Bella will have a hard time digging through that.....or so I think! ha! Butter looks like he could care less at the moment about whatever the girls are finding. He will wait until they have unearthed whatever it is and then enjoy the chase! He is probably saying to himself...."let them do all the work....I'll get involved when it's fun!"

Rachel...I love your Hannah stories! I wouldn't have thought of the vacuum cleaner. Great idea! I probably would have made a big production out of it with a bath, etc. I will store that thought in the back of my mind for a time when Bella might need vacuuming!
