All the girls love to dig holes but Smoke is our current most avid digger. I say current because back in the day that title went to Cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon was our smallest girl but had big feet and we soon came to realise that she put them to good use. Cinnamon would dig holes that she would disappear into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoke has taken this job over from Cinnamon. Smoke did this last year and I posted about it but I think it can take posting again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ebony and Flame can dig good holes because they are bigger girls. But their holes don’t compare with Smoke’s holes in comparison to her size. Smoke will dig a hole that she can disappear into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I go back to check on the girls and Smoke may be still digging away at her hole an hour later. I guess it keeps her occupied. The bigger girls come along and fill in her holes and then Smoke sets about making them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fill in the holes when I clean up the run and Smokes makes them again. I figure it gives her a purpose. It also seems to be to do with the time of year because Smoke was doing this last year at this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps there are bugs to be had or perhaps it is just for fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have to say that I do find it quite entertaining to watch. I am sure she is having fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
