We're still on the battle with it. I also have the impression that spooky Cookie is in her puberty and likes to battle with me too!

This morning she got all worked up in the garden (it really is very small, a city garden - enough for a bit of grass and a tree), running around, pulling some little plants out (that I just planted there of course) and had her nose in the mudd again. Even though I had the cayenne pepper. It's a game for her.

The same on the playgroup, digging till she drops. She was covered with black horrible dirt all over.

Guess we'll try what Carrie advised and build a corner with sand for her (although I don't hope that the cats are going to use it as toilet - we just got Cookie of the catpoo!)
