Something's Different

So as I mentioned the other day, we're going to be taking out the pool this spring. Duncan is a bit concerned that it looks different than usual:

Usually I can get a drink here. Where's my water?

Well, aren't you going to do something about it?

The birds take baths down there.

I just don't understand these humans.

So far, we've been doing some exploratory digging, and have taken down the little fence around the pool equipment area. Duncan is puzzled, but he's handling the changes much better  than Kerry would have. He's tried chewing those chunks of clay we've dug up. Not up to the standard of a good stick, but not bad!

This could be a long summer...
