Window Warnings and Digging Dogs

I was cleaning windows yesterday and I noticed that all my windows have a little warning label at the bottom that says, "Warning: Open Windows Can Be Hazardous." I immediately got a mental picture of someone sticking his head out an open window, which then slammed down, guillotine-like, on his neck. But then, I read the fine print, which said that children can fall out open windows even if the screen is in place. OK, I guess that makes sense, but still, they need a warning label for that?

Also yesterday, I was walking past the propane tank next to the house and noticed that there was a GIANT hole under the tank. Yes, in addition to a chewing problem, Buckley has a digging problem. The hole was so big that I had to go get a wheelbarrow of dirt from one of the mules' sand pits (uh, yeah, the mules also have a digging problem) in order to fill it in. Then, I put some big rocks around the tank and put up a wire fence around the whole thing. Today, Buck started digging a hole under the wire fence, so I put some cement blocks around the base of the fence. It's starting to look like the Clampetts live here. The Clampetts before they moved to Beverly Hills.
