Smelly solution to digging holes
by wids on Thu 15 Oct 2009, 12:10
This isn't the nicest way to resolve a problem but we have two pupsters who seem keen to meet the Staffies in Australia they constantly dig holes that they can disappear into.
It has been getting really bad and then hubby remembered something he did years ago to stop our others doing this...
he collected a couple of their own healthy fresh poos from the garden and placed them ever so nicely in the holes they had dug and then buried them.
Next time out they went scuttling back like little moles to continue their descent through to Australia...and BINGO got one whiff of their own poo and backed off...haven't been back to the tunnels since!!!
