I was on Facebook last night and saw these adorable videos from Amy McLoughlin. She has four adorable pups, but one in particular LOVES the sprinklers!
When I was a kid, we had ants on our back porch all the time in the summer. My mom would have us boil a pot of water and dump it where we thought the ants were coming from, and they would be dead on contact. This is a much more extreme and PERMANENT solution to the problem.
