diggint to China

| When my brother and I were very young we would sometimes get spoons from the kitchen and try to dig to China. ( no one ever said we were brilliant.) It really kept us busy which of course was the reason for mom giving us the idea in the first place. Anyway..earlier today when I was working on the property,Digby was being a real pain so I told him to go dig to China. I'm giving him and A for effort. This took him about 20 minutes.

| What a cutie! Looking at him gave me a big smile. Will he mind if/when you wipe the dirt off of his nose. :>) |

| Thank you dear Marda for sharing these pictures. I got a big belly laugh and I needed one this morning. Still laughing over his muddy nose. He really put some effort into it, didn't he? Precious little man. |

| He really takes this job seriously, doesn't he? And so proud of himself! |

| His eyes are just so adorable! Even if he wasn't into digging like he is, I'd have to say, Digby really fits him. That is such a good name for him. Your mom was much smarter than mine, evidently, as mine just told us "to dig" in general (we too, were to dig to China). You'd make a much smaller mess with spoons! ;) Luckily, our entire backyard was sand (we lived by the beach). |

| What a cutie! Mind if I borrow him? He could help my cat Midnight dig out a gopher. Her claws just can't dig fast enough. |

| LOVE that third photo. I, too, have a digger-to-China. Mine usually doesn't stop until she finds the thing after which she was digging. It's such a pleasure to be gifted with ex-vermin AND a big ol' hole that needs to be re-filled (NOT)... but my heart melts and I instantly forgive when I see the earnest look in the eyes and the muddy face of optimism like Digby has... |

| Love it! He's so proud of himself! |

| He is so cute and he looks like he enjoys the digging. I have a few Four O'Clocks that he can dig up. |

| That is about the neatest picture I've seen in a long time. Who couldn't love anyone with a face like that? |

I love him, Marda.
He looks like a little teddy bear.
Talk about making you laugh out loud every day. |

| I love that dog, Marda. I've been giving some thought to getting a companion for Rags and if I could get a female version of Digby..well, I'd snap her up,. Too bad your breeder isn't in my neighborhood. I wonder if she knows someone in my area. Digby is wonderful. |

| Sheila...a poodle would make a wonderful companion for Rags but just remember,they easily can live to 15 years and most do.Make sure you have someone lined up to take over just in case. |

| That is one cute little guy. I love his haircut -- makes him still look like a puppy. My brother and I also used to dig holes, but not to China. We called them Pappy-traps,hoping our father would step in one. I think our idea came from the Heffalump traps in Winnie the Pooh. |

| I like the way Marda keeps him groomed, too. We used to have a poodle and we called that a puppy cut. I think the dog is most comfortable in one and yes....they look like perpetual teddy bears. Especially so with their dark, shoe-button eyes. Pappy-traps? Got my second belly laugh of the day. OMGosh Nora....... I think I missed out on a necessary child-hood ritual. I don't think I dug holes. |

| I do have that in place, Marda, for Rags. But the longevity of an animal is what really prevents me from getting a young one now. Someone I know has a three year old poodle, the woman is eighty and the dog might readily outlive her. |
RE: diggint to China

| Digby will outlive me,I'm pretty sure,unless I kill him first. He has been a holy terror all day. Maybe it's the change in the weather,I don't know but he's been wild wild wild. I love "pappy trap" too. What a great name for a hole. |
