Waiting Patiently (Not)

October 30, 2011 / The Thundering Herd /

Share This Story

We were down in Asheville running errands and stopped at one of our favorite Asheville City Parks features – the Greenway through French Broad River Park and Carrier Park – to walk The Herd.  After a couple of miles of walking, we were ready to load everyone back in the Jeep.  Each dog needs to be loaded and fitted with their seat belt.  Therefore, the rest of The Herd is to wait patiently while that is being done.  So how well do you think that went?

Apparently SOME dog smelled a creature under the ground and, while the hu-dad was distracted, burrowed into the ground and had their head buried in mud.  And who do you think would be prey driven enough to dig this fast AND quiet enough to do it with the unsuspecting hu-dad only a couple of feet away.

The crime scene – a quick hole dug and a “snout” hole burrowed to chase some poor unsuspecting creature.
We can rule all of these suspects out. So who is the guilty party?
Bwaaahahahaha

    Iโ€™ve always thought it would be great to train them to excavate where we actually needed holes dug. The only problem is that they spread the dirt so well thereโ€™s nothing to put back in the hole!!

    Even before I saw the pictures I guessed. Was there ever any doubt?

    Oh yes, she has that same look of great pride that Ciara gets when she has accomplished a great feat of un-gardening.
