Nevada – last Holloween

The ground is covered by 3 feet of snow so Nevada is in heaven diging. I know its good exercize and she loves it. BUT I hope she will out grow this habit.

There IS hope, though China may seem close. OK, not helpful 😉 Though we have 2 Rotts, we also have a Golden Retreiver/Lab that could be rented out as a backhoe. What I’m trying to say, lightheartedly, is that any breed can dig. Hints that may help …

1. Under the fence digging: line the fence with chicken wire buried on the inside of the fence and bent up the top (staple or wire up the fence). Next, line fence, over the wire mesh with cement patio blocks 8″ x 16″. A bit spendy but worth it.

2. Digging elsewhere: When you take the dog outside to do it’s business, watch it and scold loudly.

3. If it’s an outside dog all day while everyone’s at work, Nevada (beautiful!)could have separation anxiety). A kennel run (if you can’t find the money to buy – look at garage sales or put an ad/look in a Little Nickel paper).

Nevada shows spunk and intelligence, work with that. She can be your shining star.

I picked Nevada as a name because our last Rott was Sierra. I keep saying my next one will be Colorado. My husband says the next one will be named Divorce.
