That is so funny! I am getting a mental picture!! I spent hours yesterday working in the yard. (I can feel it today!) Anyway, one of the areas Bella loves to dig in is a large flowerbed (which for the time being contains no flowers due to her ). Anyway, I put some large pieces of slate in there yesterday in sort of a design. There are still lots of spaces in between but nothing where she can get a toe-hold or should I say paw-hold. She immediately ran over to investigate and looked so disappointed. I also put down a couple of bags of top soil and then covered it over with a couple of strips of sod to take care of some bare spots. Hopefully she will not realize that it would be pretty easy to tear off a piece of sod and run away with it before it has a chance to root. That is a great source of enjoyment for her. Running off with my things....gardening gloves, small gardening tools, even the little mat I sometimes kneel on. Now if that didn't look funny!
