I was digging a big hole today, and the girls had to be right there to observe and help out.
Here's where Rosie was sitting in the mud. Nice cute back paw prints.
Rosie would walk into the hole as I dug and dig around a bit herself. Not so much to help, which would have been nice, but to arrange the sand to make a comfy bed.
Also, sand smells really interesting.
Mostly she lay in her carefully selected and prepared spot, watching while I dug around her.
Goldie was having none of that and lay just outside of my work zone, stretched out in the sun.
As my work progressed, I ended up with two dogs in my work area: Rosie in the hole, and Goldie on one of the piles I was building up.
It's very hard being a dog when somebody puts wet sand in your favourite shady napping spot.
