jenna, the house has a concrete slab on the ground. Excavating under it it very bad for a number of reasons, mainly structural. Contrary to popular belief, most Queensland houses are built at ground level from Besser blocks on a concrete slab rather than up on stumps. I don't mind where he has a snooze, just not this spot. He's allowed to lie on his mat just inside the back door. As I said, he's got plenty of suitable but less than perfect spots available which he does use. The rest of the house is out of bounds. Blue carpet and red/white dog hair do not match well.

He likes to try and dig under it. More den like than a normal scrape. Until of course it's filled back in. Then the game is on! Not being able to observe him isn't really an issue apart from this one behaviour. A dog's got to have some time to himself.

I like Binji's idea with the wire. It'll allow the grass to regenerate and reduce the supervisory load. It's also inexpensive.

Oh carp!

I've just seen the time.

Off to work I go....
