Over the years, we've had several dogs that were serious earth-moving equipment. Pound for pound, I'll bet Top, Phipps, and Simba could have even given Sour's shovel a run for its money! I remember watching Critter planting tomatoes in the garden with them one day. He'd point to one spot, say "Mouse, Top, mouse! Dig, dig, dig!" and the three of them would make the dirt fly. Every few seconds, Critter would point to another spot, say the same thing, and they'd abandon the previous spot and attack the new one with the same energy. As quick as he went, though, the tomato plants nearly disappeared in the craters they dug.
Top liked to eat the grubs that attacked the lawn, too. We could always tell when the grubs got active, because we'd find all these billiard-ball sized holes in the lawn from her digging them up. We thought the local garden center should put on their sign, "Top says it's time to treat for grubs now!"
