Equal Billing
Last week we had the story about Butler the farm dog and his most magnificent nose, the very same nose that had a pile of dirt attached to the top that he totally ignored while I snapped his picture and told him he looked ridiculous. So this week it is Jackson’s turn to look silly.
I’m not sure why, if it is the season or just because, but both dogs have been doing their share of digging in the dirt lately. Butler seemed to start it by burying some really delicious soup bones only to dig them up a short time later and search for a better hole in which to hid them. He does this a lot. His brother is known to seek out Butler’s hidden treasures and steal them the minute they are left unattended or in an insecure location.
Jackson was the digger today and I was able to catch him with a pile of dirt on the tip of his nose. Unlike Butler, Jackson does not leave the plop attached for long. Within minutes he was doing a full body, lawn scrub with a clawing, body dragging, rolling and twisting motions.
It wasn’t easy but I was able to get the dogs back to equal billing with their dirty nose antics.

I think the voles, moles, gophers are on the move underground. Maybe it is a sign of spring? Bailey is increasing her attentiveness and digging, too, but so far no luck, just dirty nose and paws.
Butler and Jackson are snouting around in the snow drifts for critters on occasion but would rather just run and play although the crusty layers of freezing rain with layers of soft snow make it hard to maneuver easily.
