[PyrNet-L] kids & dogs

Here's a cute story which happened today. I let both dogs out in the yard (which we had thought we made dig-proof - silly us). After about 10 mins my Samoyed started barking furiously (he does not usually bark much anymore). I ran out to see what was going on & he was standing about 3 ft. from Heidi, barking madly. Heidi was busily digging away at a hole which was already about 18inches deep. She was ignoring him. When he saw me, he shut up & stood there first looking at her then at me as if to say "See, she's doing it again". I can remember that exact look on my children when they tattled on each other & sincerely hoped that trouble was brewingfor the child being tattled on. It was all I could do to reprimand her without breaking up in laughter. I think everyone who is contemplating having children should spend time raising puppies first. It's a bit of practice for the real thing & much more fun than a bag of flour or a computer baby.
