They made a great pile of dirt and then they put a fence around it so I can’t go digging.
There’s got to be a way.
Maybe I can jump over that fence.
I give up.
There’s no way to get into there.
My person’s right. I just can’t jump like I used to.
Wait! What!??
Look what I found!
Now to get rid of the leash.

Dirt piles are fun to climb. Shame you can’t climb the dirt pile.

Fredrieka, the dirt pile was even bigger today and I still don’t get to climb it. Come on over and we can break through the fence together and climb that pile.

A secret passage!!!!! i hope though you didn’t drag your person on the other end of the leash! 😉

Marina, I was really tempted to, but my person had too tight of a hold on my leash.

Hmmm….now I wonder what they are digging up for….? I can see cacties on the pictures….so I hope they won’t dig those cacties up……
Bongo

Kevin, they’ve already dug up some of the cactus but those prickly pear cactus are everywhere around here and the grow back really easily. There’s a big cholla cactus that’s just inside the fence that they haven’t hurt yet. I hope they leave that one alone. There aren’t that many cholla around here.

Lily & Edward, if my person would only let go of my leash I’d have a blast in that dirt pile. Maybe you two could come over here and distract her for me.

Bongo, do you still jump for thunder?
Bongo
April 18, 2016 at 10:21 pm
Jackie, don’t even mention that word to me. Thunder is terrible! And we had some the other day too – and it’s not even the right time of year for it yet.

Dirt pile privileges withheld? Cruel and unusual punishment!

That’s what I say Karen. And it’s even worse now because those diggers dug a hole and they won’t let me help.

How could they put a fence around that great dirt pile. I say go for the hole, your person will let go of the leash sooner or later 😉
Bongo
April 21, 2016 at 10:14 pm
That’s what I’m thinking. She’s not going to want to crawl under so once I get far enough she’ll for sure let go of my leash.

Digging’s so much fun Bongo! Once you get the rhythm going you can do it all day. Seems to me they’d want your help and maybe even pay you to give them a hand … love ya Bongo, Lola
Bongo
May 15, 2016 at 10:14 pm
Lola, I totally agree. They’re going about it much too slow. You’d think they’d want an expert like me around.

Bongo it is swamp backyard with all the rain – can you shove some of that dirt pile this way? Paw waves!

Karen, I’ve been digging frantically in the dirt pile hoping some of it flies over to your house. It got a little muddy for awhile, but the rain has gone for now and it’s drying up so I’ll keep digging.

Much appreciated since more thunder and sheets of rain today. Dog boredom tends to make dogs as well as people gain a few pounds. We can hardly wait for chill!

Sorry I took forever to get back to you. My person has been ignoring my blog and not helping me check my comments. The dirt pile is gone now and they paved the parking lot.

Hi Bongo! I wasn’t paying attention to my blog either for awhile as you can see to. I really missed talking to you but just now remembered my blog and came back to it…

Hi Bongo. I’m messaging some people on here to see if anyone has an idea on what we could use for our 2 dogs as potty grass. Do you have any experience or do you have any idea of what we could use? Thanks so much Bongo!

I’m sorry I can’t help you with that Tula. All I have in my yard is dirt and lots of little rocks – and weeds. Some of those weeds taste good.

Hi Bongo. Sorry I didn’t get back to you till just now. Grass is surely delicious! Thanks you for the recommendation! I think we have found something to suit our needs. Thanks! Tula

Thanks Riley. They took away the dirt pile and paved the parking lot. But at least it’s easier to get to my trails now.

Oh poor Bongo! I’m sure there will be more dirt for you to dig in somewhere in the future! Though that dirt pile does look like extra fun! Maybe you and your human can sneak in together for a quick dig, probably some great bones buried in there!
Cheers! Can’t wait to see your next adventure!
Bongo
December 4, 2016 at 4:47 pm
Thanks Seth. They took away that dirt pile, but my person just took the frozen tomato plants out of her garden and now there’s plenty of dirt to dig in there. Now if I can only get her to look the other way.

Poor Bongo they have that fence right in your way…did you ever figure a way around it so you could enjoy climbing that dirt pile. Hugs and nose kisses

Thanks Mags, Pooh, and Chancy – they finally took away the fence, but they took the dirt pile away too. A dog just can’t win.

I’m thinking I might have to make my own dirt pile. But whenever I do it a hole shows up next to it.
