Gardening Dog

I have a dog.

I have learned that he has heretofore undiscovered talents.

I was digging patches of grass and clumps of weeds out of the back yard gravel path and Danny showed these new skills.

When you dig up a clump of something it is normal to shake out the good topsoil before you throw the weeds or grass clump away.

My dog is absolutely wonderful at this "shake the dirt out" process... well... maybe not perfect, he won't pile up the green parts. They sort of get scattered.

I'm sure he thinks it's some sort of game but it works for me. I just have to be careful to not let him know it's work.

I have a dog.

I shovel the weeds out.

He shakes the dirt out.

The work gets done.

Oh yeah, after... I go around after and rake up the green parts.

It's actually a fair division of labor. I'm tall and work from the end of a shovel or rake. He's short and does the "ground level" work.

It works.
