I have no idea where this came from - she has
never dug in her entire life, first did this last year on Christmas

it's some sort of possession because when she comes in she's panting
and trembling.

What's the chance the Mukluk showed her that there are
rodents in there?

Who knows. I thought Tasha had scared all the rodents out of the
yard, but she has been gone for over a year and a half now...But Triss
has no prey drive, and no one else is digging in the hole right now.
It's a mystery.

Of course, she hates to have her feet washed off.

It's amazing how dogs that can dig through the lithosphere
and eat rodents whole can be so freakin' dainty.

Heh. What's amazing, with her, is how clean she is, considering the
filth she was raised in. Whatever dirt we can't wash off she will
lick off; she must have eaten a lot of dirt in the last few weeks.
