When little dogs decide to mud bog...

I must start this post by first telling you that both of these little sweeties have had baths within the last 48 hours...Dixie actually had a bath TODAY. With that said, they both decided it would be a wonderful idea to go bounding through the largest puddle (more like a small lake due to all of the snow we got a few days ago) in the courtyard. They then decided that it would make their little adventure more exciting to run across the courtyard and through the largest area of mud they could find. It's like they just knew that they were clean and could hardly stand it! They tore around the backyard for a good five minutes getting completly dirty. At this point I decided they might as well get their energy out beacuse there was no way they weren't getting a bath...

Yes...she's very cute. Get beyond that and look at her completly muddy paws...you can't see this, but her little furry tummy was also covered in mud...not so cute anymore, is she? ;-)

The instigator of the whole ordeal...aka Dixie's partner in crime....she even LOOKS guilty!

This picture really doesn't do it justice...

And this little stinker is quite the "low rider". Since she is so low to the ground she was covered in mud.

Away to the bathtub we went!!! Such little brats...they even look guilty here! Maybe they just love bathtime so much that they want to come back for more! I very highly doubt that!

My sweet little drowned rat-dog....I was shocked to find out that she literally had the contents of the whole backyard stuck to her tummy fur. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but it was a pain to get off of her! Doesn't she look thrilled? :-)

This is one of my favorite things to do in life...when Gracie is all dried off I take a towel from the dryer and swaddle her. It takes her all of three minutes to be sound asleep, and if it were up to her she would stay like that all day. Okay....I have a confession...I wasn't ever really mad at them :-) It was quite the little spectacle and I'm sure that the young men that witnessed it from their balcony were quite entertained. Life happens and you just have to grin and bear it. :-)
