Jumping and Digging



We got the kids a trampoline for Christmas this year and have all had a great time jumping in between the raindrops this winter and spring. But we couldn’t help but notice something strange. Our resident dachshund, Jello, has dug up the whole back yard this year. There aren’t any moles out there, either, and I couldn’t figure it out. But my son, the GT genius, saw what was happening. Jello was digging furiously every time the kids jumped. He was picking up the vibrations of the jumping -- and going after some imagined subterranean critter.
I don’t know how to solve this, so for now all we can do is watch the confused pup dig up the yard every time we jump.
