OK apologies for the rant, just pisses me off no end!

Agreed mate, as a society we're as selfish as we've ever been.

He got walked twice yesterday. First was 2km along the beach then later let off the lead at the dog park where he ran around for a good hour.
Kids come home from school & play with him for ages, really try & wear him out. Wife goes out & spends more time with him. I get home, feed him and sit out there keeping him company whilst I have a beer. Get up this morning & the little f#cker has dug everywhere. Made a real mess of the garden, lawn & potted plants.
He has plenty of toys to play with & chew on & gets unlimited attention. People say they dig when they’re bored, not sure what else we could’ve done as a family yesterday to keep him entertained.
Went through this about 12 months ago.
Got expert opinions from everywhere.
Bought different chew toys, tried sprays on furniture and plants etc and other stuff but nothing worked.
He grew out of it eventually thankfully.
Chews the occasional shoe if you leave it lying around still but nothing else.
He’s dug a whole in the middle of the lawn, I’m not kidding, it’s 50cm wide & 70cm deep.
It looks like a f#cking meteorite landed in our front yard.

I know I gotta move on but it’s grinding my gears something shocking

I think as a nation our people are fairly giving and caring to support people in need, for example the recent bushfire disaster. Unfortunately this Corona chaos however has brought out the worst in a lot of people.
