When you have a pickaxe and discover a shop, clean out the level and then walk to the door of the shop. Throw your pickaxe in on the diagonal. Go in, pick up your axe and whatever else you want and then dig down to the next level. I don't believe the shopkeeper knows how to follow you when you do this. Scott R.

I tried throwing the pick-axe into a shop. Guess what ? "Asidonhopo nimbly catches the pick-axe" ... Maybe this does not happen all the time, but I won't try it again. A better way is to drop the pick-axe at the door and wait for doggie to take it in. However, if you dig a hole, you will likely loose your dog...
