              The Top 8 Reasons Dogs Dig in the Yard


 8> He's acting as a decoy so the guards don't catch Martha
    Stewart's golden retriever tunneling her out.

 7> Preparing for a quick cat burial. If she ever catches one.

 6> Canine contact lenses are a lot more expensive to replace than
    you think.

 5> He's searching for the Pet Owner Mind Controller device that
    Rebel Dog Forces buried there. He's unaware that the cat
    intercepted it ages ago.

 4> Those weapons of mass destruction ain't gonna find themselves,
    you know.

 3> Because digging in the sidewalk isn't nearly as productive.

 2> Damn cat hid the keys to the skiploader again.


          and the Number 1 Reason Dogs Dig in the Yard...


 1> He's sure his testicles are around here *somewhere*.
