If it's any consolation, our complex had a leak in one of the underground water pipes. It sat, and sat, until we had a nice big mud puddle for all the neighborhood dogs to find and roll in and bring dripping home.

Then the repair guys finally came out, fixed the pipe, and filled in the former big mud puddle with sand, leaving it all piled up, lumpy and looking very much like a massive litterbox quietly nestled between the garbage cans and the bushes.

We have many locals who let their cats out to play in the evening.

I can't WAIT until one of the neighborhood kids decides it's a sandbox.
