The Buckets by Greg Cravens for March 01, 2020

“I buried a lot of my ironing in the back yard.” Phyllis Diller

“Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window; Why, why, says the junk in the yard.” Paul McCartney

“Thank you, yard sales, for being the perfect way to say to your neighbors: ‘We think we’re important enough to charge money for our garbage.’ " Jimmy Fallon

“I learned that you don’t take dishes from the table to the dishwasher; you have to rinse them first. I think that’s stupid because I don’t go out in the back yard and hose off before taking a shower.” Bill Engvall

I had a small dog when I was a kid, who often dug holes in the yard even though he had nothing to bury. Years later, I figured out that he did it in an effort to cool off. Dig till you find cooler dirt, then lie in it.

Our dog protects our drain spouts from the chipmunks by chomping them flat. I finally put the gutter filters at the bottom so the chipmunks can’t get in them.

they aren’t usually looking to bury something. Mine are usually trying to Unbury something, like moles and voles

My brother’s pup tries to dig up the moles….she makes trenches following their tunnels.

And that right there is why you walk your dog multiple times a day, rather then throwing him into the backyard. And chubby dude could use the exercise.
