Richard Glover has recently encountered a significant challenge in managing his property due to the digging habits of a kelpie puppy named Frank. The young dog has demonstrated an extensive ability to excavate dirt, creating numerous furrows across the landscape.

The scale of the digging has proven difficult for Glover to mitigate or control. Despite attempts to manage the environment, the puppy's natural inclination for excavation has resulted in persistent alterations to the ground.

Kelpie dogs are a breed historically developed for working livestock, known for high energy levels and a strong instinct to engage with their surroundings. These traits often manifest in physical activities, including digging, which can be challenging for owners to redirect.

The situation highlights the practical difficulties that can arise when high-energy working breeds are kept in domestic or semi-rural settings. As Frank continues to navigate his environment, his ability to move large amounts of earth remains a notable feature of his daily activity.
