We woke up to the remains of an overnight downpour.

When having your driveway repaired, excess water is not welcome.
.

.
There were two extremely large puddles wreaking havoc with all that new oh so damned expensive dirt.

.
And while the birds and the visiting ducks liked their new muddy bath…

I was less than thrilled.

Naturally His Royal Highness wanted to investigate.
.

.
He’s such a timid little guy I thought the big equipment would frighten him, but he’s more afraid of the workers than the machines.
.

.
Growing bored with the earth movers he ran up the choke cherry tree before I had a chance to stop him.

The desire is there, but the skills are still lacking.

Such a cutie. We talk to our pets the exact same way. 🙂

But…he did it! Way to go, Lord Dudley! On another note—I had a similar “expensive” experience in a pole building/concrete construction project a couple of years ago (and of course, sold the house, lol). His highness is so cute!

Thank you, we try. But half of our house was built in 1974, then added on to in 1994. It’s time for some updates.

I think it’s funny that after your video played, YouTube offered me a rerun of Dudley Do-Right.

It showed the workers where the low spots were, and that way they can correct it now before they lay the asphalt. I see this as a plus. What better way to learn the drainage pattern then a heavy rainfall?

Only half of the new dirt has been laid, so it’s more of a before and after puddle situation.

Aww, he climbed a tree without his human having to untangle him, lol. Well, rain isn’t good for ongoing construction but, I think it will dry before the day is over.

Thankfully he never goes high enough that I have to go up after him.

Too bad the “lake” won’t last. You could’ve name it Lake Dudley and stocked it with (small) fish for him to catch.

No. They’d only done half of it at that point. Lots more dirt… excuse me, … soil to come.
