True story.

The first time she caught me playing in the dirt in the yard of my own free will, I think she was shocked. I’m still not big on playing in the mud, but I’m trying to learn to embrace it…

Are you kidding? I’ll have you know I’m strong as a horse [except when I get taken down and people break my toes] because I ate mud pies as a child [mixed with grass and butter for flavouring]. I also think it is entirely possible fleas do not like muddy dogs. It would be quite hard for them to breathe if the fur is all caked up.
As for mud being good for the skin, it’s a proven fact! Women pay hundreds of dollars for special mud baths, facials and wraps from the Caspian sea [or some such place]. Would they do it if it wasn’t true? Ha.

Having lived in New Mexico though, I think I prefer it to dust!
But you’re right, there’s something nice about toweling off those paws:)

It was definitely fun to play in the mud with the hubs. Mud can be good fun! But I prefer it on me and not on the dog!

I’m just as happy because we live in an apartment building which represents two problems
1. I would have to clean the carpet from the elevator to the apartment.
2. We don’t have a Mud Room. What ever didn’t come off in the hallway would be brought into my hallway. Not good.

I am glad that Honey gets to play in the mud.

A friend was over one day helping clean the dog areas. Seymour came in coated flat with mud literally from nose to tail. We laughed so hard before taking him to the tub.

Enjoy that mud, Honey! I’ll pass, thank you.
