In the dog house

I took a brief break from work to look outside the front door, and this is what greeted me. Sahraa had dug up an entire planter box that has an irrigation system and a large palm tree in it. She exposed the roots as she dug down pretty far. After I slammed the door on her, I went back out again with my cell phone (so not a great picture, especially at dusk) and she slunk away. The gardener is coming tomorrow to fix the damage. I hope.

Sometimes a dog just has to dig! Nice portrayal of the aftermath,

It must be hard to get mad at that sweet face.

You said she likes water and there was an irrigation system down there so...

Oh, I bet it felt wonderful to get in there, paws et al :)

LOL ~ I think that Jane may be onto something here. Sahraa may very well be missing Tim! But you have to admit.... she is such a good girl that it is surprising to see her get into a bit of mischief! ;) V

I know I shouldn't laugh, but the mental image of Sahraa slinking away after having her bit of fun (or making a statement) did make me laugh. I can imagine Sasha doing just the same. V

Oh dear! She's been busy!

Uh oh! It's hard not to laugh when a good dog does something naughty. Awww, poor Sahraa had a lapse in her good judgement. Maybe she is missing Tim. V

A not so subtil way to let you know that she does not like this plant!

LOL! Dogs will be dogs!!!

On second thought...she probably heard the trickling of the irrigation system and thought it was sort if creature and dug down to get after it.
