We can hide our stuff in them and dig, dig, dig. <\/p>\n<p>My people rake them into piles.  they might as well put a bullseye right in the middle, because I can&#8217;t resist.  Any toy or stick I have goes right in the center.  I bury my head in there and it&#8217;s like a narcotic.  I forget where I am &#8211; I am nose and paws and nothing else.  Maybe a little ears too, because I hear A-Dog call my name from far away.  Buzzkill.<\/p>\n<p>So, my advice is to just let it go.  How many times a year do us dogs really get to enjoy a big pile of diggable, organic matter?  I hear Shoes and A-Dog laugh at me in the way I know I can keep it up.  But my canine friends, keep your ears pricked for that inevitable change to impatience.  We always outlast those humans.
