| Diggers? Well Sadie loves the dirt and she loves to dig in it with me! I have a garden and I go out every morning before it gets hot and pull weeds. She is always right beside me (or under me because I squat) and when I pull up a weed, she will pull it out of my hand and drag it away. She shakes it around and then comes back for another one! Its hilarious but Im wondering if Im teaching her a bad thing by allowing her to do it? I figured if she sticks to digging and taking what I pull up only in the garden with me, its okay. Should I keep her inside and not allow her to do it in fear she might start digging up my whole backyard? LOL!! |

| Im always outside in the dirt somewhere around our property so its my way of life, really! Im always planting something or growing something and Im always dirty so it'd be hard to keep her out of it, but I can keep her inside if you guys think I might be teaching her a bad trick of digging! LOL!! Or do you think she'll just do it anyway because thats what terriers do?? |

| Thanks guys!!! Thats what Im going to do then! Let her enjoy the dirt with me!! She is sooo funny how she comes up and grabs it and takes off with it and shakes it! I laugh so hard watching her! I will discourage her from doing it when Im not working in the garden or in the dirt somewhere but if Im out there and she wants to play in the dirt with me, Im going to let her!! |

| My rescue Gabby is a true terrier. She digs her little life away. I've tried to stop her from doing this but she still does it. She can dig a huge hole in 10 secs, thank goodness I am always outside with them. All you see are little pot holes every where I tell everyone watch your step. Also my entire house is fenced in so she goes to the front and digs holes too. |

| I don't let Bella near the dirt either. However she tries to "bury" her favorite toy bone in the couch, blanket, whatever that could be fabric that she could dig in. It's hilarious to watch her with both paws going at it and her thinking, just one more dig, just one more dig and then I can bury my bone. It's a hoot!

| Sophie likes to dig in the dirt, but I don't encourage her. I DO let her dig in the big sandbox hubby made for the grandkids! SHE LOVES IT! She lets her neighbor Bella the Shih Tzu join in the fun!

| That is a great idea!! I'm selling my home so I'll definately put one in the new house. Gabby stops digging when she is told too but don't let me turn my head...she'll be at it again. She's such a tomboy. Thats why they are only allowed outside when the ground is dry. |

| Suzi is a little digger too... She gets into the grass and digs until she hits the dirt... AND she does this in her water dish. She loves it. Water is all over the place and she's all wet, but I know she is having fun, I have to keep filling up her water three to four times a day. She digs on magizines, cardboard, even on my bed. She is quite a character
