Guys I want to get this thread back to dogs. No offense or anything, but they are much more entertaining. I can start with some pictures and a fascinating story that happened today.
My dog's name is Cooper - he is a goldendoodle 3-year old puppy. We didn't train him very well tbh. Whenever he is home he wants to play and he always wants to be outside. When I am inside he will come up and tap the glass door with his paw. Unlike many dogs, he does not want to actually come inside...he wants me to go outside to play with him. Most of the day he is sitting like below - pawing at the door:

If you look closely at the top left of the previous photo you will notice the bottom of a slide. This was attached to a fort that was built by a previous owner. I don't have kids (yet) and this thing is unstable anyway and not really suitable for anyone. So my brother, wife, and I spent a few hours yesterday doing some demo work. See photo below where the fort is gone (horray me).

So today I'm working inside on a project and Cooper was outside. He came to the door and pawed a few times. I didn't pay any attention because I really didn't need to play the game where I open the door and then he runs across the patio to his ball and waits for me to play with him. About 10 minutes later he starts frantically pawing at the door. Not his usual taps - but up on his hind legs and batting at the door to get my attention. I go to the door and open it and he immediately sprints over towards the area where the fort used to be and furiously starts digging. I didn't mind that he was digging the area but I was intrigued. He had uncovered some money that had been buried in the ground. I started digging and I came across some solid remains. My wife came out because she was also curious. She noticed the money, and asked me how much I had found. I told her, "it looks to be about tree fiddy." It was about that time I realized II was digging up the remains of an 8-story tall crustacean from the Paleazoic era. That god-damned Loch Ness Monster had tricked me again.
