Title: Re: [pyrnet] Re: Intro & new pup question

What is it about these wonderful critters and their need to dig when they are in water?  Luna does just a tad of scratching in the dry dirt in order to make a comfy bed, but once she is in a stream or on the shore of a pond.... look out, she is on her way to China.  The story from Lisa did create some hilarious visions in my mind.  Thanks for sharing...
