A Codie story

A couple of days ago this was my berry box.  On the left side of the picture are my cranberries, recently planted.  When I was prepping the bed to plant the cranberries I was adding peat moss to the sand that had been in there for a long time.  As I was mixing the peat into the sand i discovered an old bone that had probably been buried.  Usually it is Codie that buries stuff and we have seen Sadie watching her and later going and getting it.  I offered the bone to Sadie who was laying under the tree and she didn't seem too interested in it.  Later I gave it to Codie.

I didn't think anything more about that bone until I came out of the greenhouse today to find Codie standing in the cranberries gingerly pawing at the soil mixture in the cranberry bed.  I called to her to get out of the bed and when I got closer this is what I found:

She had holes dug all over the bed and the only thing that I could come up with is that she was looking for that bone that was long gone.  She appears to have carefully gone around the plants and none of them seem to have been damaged.  Tomorrow I will smooth the dirt mixture and if it looks like it will be an ongoing problem I will put the old blueberry fence around the box. That Codie.  She is such an important part of the farm.  It is hard to be angry with her.
