Ahhh.....mud

There is nothin' that says spring better than "mud". This is Jake after a full day of helping me in the garden. While I dug out last years leaves, dead flowers and plants Jake dug a gazillion holes in the back yard looking for moles. He has a great technique of sneaking up on them; he carefully listens to the ground and then stares at it for about 5 minutes, all the while he inches closer to the hole one gentle stealth step at a time. Just when the time is right he pounces and starts digging. Sometimes he knows the mole is long gone and looks for another mound to survey but most of the time he digs and digs and digs until his mouth is full of mud and he out of breath.

Today's score: Jake 15 holes - Moles 0
