6. She's a mutt.

They called her a shepherd mix, but I think she's shepherd mixed with terrier. (It's all about the ears.) I do understand that some dogs just dig, and she certainly digs after prairie dogs in pure terrier fashion. But she doesn't randomly dig in the yard. We've had her for four months now and the ONLY place she digs is in our vegetable beds. As I said upthread, I think it's because she was found nearly starved to death before she was rescued. We have always just mixed our kitchen scraps into the beds to compost them. We're pretty sure she's going after old scraps. We've stopped doing that, but there's some residual stuff that she's digging up.
