Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1250" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Maybe someone has some ideas! I have an area on the back side of my pool that the dogs insist on = eating the dirt! It started with my old dog, he is 12. I figured he's going kooky. he = would EAT huge holes in the ground, like a foot+ deep. We would fill the holes, put cinder blocks on top.He would just do it = right next to that. well now EVERYONE has joined in.I'll look out and someone will have = their head SO deep in the hole you can't see their head! This only happens in this one spot behind the pool. =20 How can I stop this? WHY are they eating dirt?? =20 the only solution I thought might work is filling the areas again, then covering the area with fencing until grass is established in that spot, = Is there anything I could mix with the dirt when we fill it this time that = will deter the dogs? Crushed mothballs or something? Thanks in advance to any suggestion! Linda DeLarso Narvon, Pa.
