Inevitably it is always my fault for putting the pipe where she needs to dig.
If I knew that she had this ability when we built the house, I would have spent the extra time to bury the pipes out of her reach, but that said, a normal person would possibly check whether they are about to dig between sprinkler risers/heads, especially after a dozen or so incidents.

I had the pleasure of repairing one run today that had 6 holes in 2 feet of pipe.
After repairing, went through the details with her so that she had no excuse next time. Yep, all good she says.
15 mins later …
But I’m not sure I’ll remember where the pipe is

To top it off, the sprinklers start up on the back lawn as programmed late this afternoon … except that there’s water gushing out between 2 of the pop-ups. Turns out the dog decided to get into the act and had dug a hole through the pipe. F*ck me.
