Sorry, trt, but this has brought back so many memories of my Newfi pup it has made me smile. Newfis dig with all 4 huge, fully-webbed feet - similar to a turtle laying eggs on the beach. He once dug a huge hole in the lawn, big enought to take a medium sized pond liner, before I could race through the house to the garden. Clods of earth, held together by what was lawn, flew at me as I approached him. By the time I had swept all the loose soil back into the hole there was only about 3 inches of ground level missing☺ I hope your pup is settling better now.
