The post hole digger did look ancient. I was pretty certain myself that it hadn′t dug any holes for a long, long time.

You′ve tried the supposedly sure method of squirting the digger with water from a hose, and that hasn′t worked.(..)This step will discourage 99 percent of the diggers.

Most retrievers are not inveterate diggers — that′s a trait usually reserved for other breeds like wire-haired terriers and schnauzers.
