Muddy nose pup

Vespa is hard at work again, digging tiny little holes around our back yard in the dirt. This afternoon, I noticed that Vespa had been missing, and I heard a little bit of scratching on the concrete of our back patio. I had to go see what was going on, and this is what I found:

Diggin', diggin', diggin' a hole (I hired Snoopy as Grounds Crew for cleanup later):

Comin' up for a breath... and I think I found something:

A muddy nose is sooooooo worth my buried treasure!

No, Momma, you can't see what I got. It's mine!

Ok, fine. It's an awesome buried stick. And I'm gonna chew it dead!
Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom....
I smile for the camera now so you'll leave me alone.
