Rolling Dog Farm Blog

Last August, I mentioned that the dogs were all finding their favorite spots at the new location here in Lancaster, and that blind Dusty had discovered a hole under the fir tree in the front yard to use as his personal den.  Well, he waited all spring to get back in his hole.  First, the snow wouldn't melt.  Then it melted, but the hole was filled with water.  He'd patiently lie on the ground under the tree, a few feet from his hole, waiting for it to dry out so he could start denning again.  Finally, it was time, and a week or so ago Dusty was back in his hole.  I took this shot the other evening.  He couldn't be happier.  Just as he did last year, he spends all day there, not coming out until we call him into the house.  Actually, I think he could be happier if we took the backhoe and dug him a hole four feet underground.  Now that, he would say, is a real den.  (No, we're not going to.)
