Blocked up

Our neighbor has a culvert that runs under his driveway, and it used to be a favorite spot for neighborhood cats. To get away from dogs, they'd run into that culvert.

And every time I'd walk Lady, she'd want to sniff that culvert, I guess to catch the cats' scents.

No more of that. The neighbor has put a screen over the culvert, backed with a little post.

Lady will still sniff near the culvert, though, as the cats apparently are still running to the culvert.

LADY STILL SNIFFED AROUND THE CULVERT.
