About the dogs.... They may do this because you try to chase them out yelling and threatening swift dog death. A great dog game! :) They love the extra attention. Also, all this digging and special attention paid by you to this patch of ground must mean something! (Bet he's hiding super dooper bones in there, hey Pal, lets have a look) After all if it's worthwhile to "God" it must be worthwhile to your dogs, at the very least. SMD The Wilderness Three Dog Night, and day after day. PS. I've solved my problem by fencing my property into two halves. The go ahead and dig yourself bunkers part and the part with the moles.
