That sounds like a lot of fun!! I had to get a bath the other day because I pooped in my crate. It was pretty gross. I just couldn't help it!! Mom was not mad, but I could tell she sure wasn't happy about it. Tell your mom at least it's just mud and not poop!!

Wow. A midnight potty break AND a romp in the mud. That's a great night! I don't know why moms get so upset about mud, it's our favorite thing to play in. They don't HAVE to give us baths, we're happy just the way we are, muddy! I hope you two get to do it again tonight!!

Boy I know the feeling about being in trouble. Last night mom was mad at me too She let me out to potty, and the kids let me back in, mom was dealing with the basement flooding and a roof leaking When she seen me laying on the chair with mud all over me and the chair and every were else that I had been she about went through the roof.

Yep...this mud gets old real fast. Everytime I came in yesterday mom got the towel and cleaned me off. One time I was so muddy she used a wet wash cloth. She didn't have time to give me a bath. Never did get that bath. Is it going to rain tomorrow? I sure hope not.

I don't understand why your mom would get so upset with you guys. After all, your backyard is a gold mine! People travel all over the world to get mud baths in luxurious spas. I'm sure underneath your mud-caked fur your skin is smooth and rejuvenated. Maybe she's mad that you guys used up some of the mud she was saving for herself? Or maybe you didn't ask if you could use her mud?

Since I'm so white, we usually get a bucket of warm water at the back door; each leg gets dipped and swished before we go inside, when we're all muddy....

Boy, when I splash chasing my ball, we get picked up at the door, taken right to the sink and sprayed off. No pets, no chats, nothing - just straight to the sprayer. Sometimes all white bodies aren't a good thing.

It's times like these that mom is happy we have coats that everything just sort of shakes off of. We have muddy paws occasionally, but that's about it. Even when we roll in mud it's pretty easy to brush out, then we're good to go.
