Thanks For The Bed, But I'll Take The Hole

We've spent the summer asking visitors to watch where they're walking when we get up to the Widget's House porch because of the whopping holes the dogs dig in the gravel.  Now, these aren't "I'm-digging-because-I'm-bored" holes or "I'm-digging-because-I've-always-wanted-to-visit-China" holes.

No, these are something entirely different.  These are "I'm-digging-because-I-want-a-firm-bed-in-a-hole" holes.

Please note the very comfortable but unused West Paw Nature Nap beds scattered across the porch.  Not shown in this photo are another three very comfortable but unused Kuranda dog cots on the porch as well, each covered with a Nature Nap bed.

And if we fill these holes up,  they're back by sundown.

So we've learned to accept the fact that sometimes -- well, quite often actually -- there's just nothing better than your very own bed in a hole.  That's deaf Tyler, by the way, showing that his hole is a carefully engineered custom fit.

Yessss....beautiful (rock)beds!! This is the sad but true fate of the person who buys stuff-especially-for-the-pet :-).
I've had my cats play with anything BUT the cat-toy I brought them and have the dogs sleep on the couch because the dogbed is too... fluffy maybe?
I'm lucky, we only have holes-to-China in our garden!

How funny!
Goes to show we all love Mother Earth and want to be as close to her as possible. Smart dogs!

I've heard of Rat Hole, a Fox Hole, even a toad in the Hole, but a Dog Hole is a whole other thing!

Good for you Tyler, enjoy your nap mate!
