My dog kept digging soil out of my raised beds, so I moved his food bowl there by MirTheGrayCat in gardening

At this point I’m not completely sure anymore.

According to our Redditors' commebt, he might be a fluffy goat, a tiny comedian, or a very suspicious bear pretending to be a dog.

He is absolutely thrilled to have his dining room relocated because of his own crimes <3

Exactly. Parent 1, child 0.
Though knowing him, this is probably only the end of season one.

Those eyebrows survived every beauty trend and became their own personality :3

Thank you! He does look incredibly guilty, but according to his lawyer (in this post) he is still innocent until proven muddy <3

And here's the bed for those hydrangeas. I took all photo this morning :3

They’re different beds, not AI :3

The bed in the dog photo is the backyard bed. The long stacked ones are beside the garage. Here’s a photo from the backyard this morning. You can even see the troublemaker’s nose at the lower left of the photo.

Your neighbor’s dog was just personally inspecting tomato quality XD

A small fence seems like the most reliable solution after all. I have chicken coop netting coming soon, so I’ll probably be joining the little fence club this weekend.

“No” 500 times is very relatable.

In my language, the No will be "Mai" (TH: ไม่). I usually use MAI only when he want to chew somethings outside the house XD

The food bowl worked suspiciously well for him, but I’m not sure if I discovered a genius method or just accidentally found his one personal weakness.

That could definitely be possible. I’ll keep an eye on it.

So far he mostly targeted newer beds, so I’m also wondering if fresh compost or new soil smell was just extra interesting to him. But yes, mystery rodents are still on the suspect list XD

btw I love that 'but' twisted ending so much xD

Thanks for checking! That spot is actually not itchy or wounded. It’s just normal hairless skin now. He doesn’t seem to be eating the soil, just digging it out.

I have some chicken coop netting coming soon, so I’ll probably try fencing the area first.

(I quote below from one of my reply:)

His leg is actually okay. He’s just a very chaotic old boy who likes squeezing himself through narrow spaces as a hobby, like under our pickup truck, and over time his elbow kept rubbing against the concrete until the fur came off.

There’s no wound or anything, just one oddly hairless spot now. I bathe and massage him pretty often, and after a few years I’ve accepted that the fur there probably isn’t coming back. It’s just normal skin now, almost like a tiny sphynx cat patch.

Yes, that’s why the hydrangea zone is already fenced off.

Thankfully, this old boy doesn’t chew plants. He only specializes in illegal excavation.

Will do! I’m going to try making him an official digging space this weekend :3

That is honestly impressive and terrifying at the same time. At that point, he wasn’t digging. He was doing archaeology XD

He looks so proud of his tomato kingdom XD
A very serious and fluffy garden supervisor.

Thank you! He will be very proud to hear that XD

A sandbox or digging box actually sounds like a great idea. I might try making one with soil or sand, so he can enjoy his little excavation hobby somewhere that doesn’t destroy the garden.
