Bagel, anyone?

Well, its getting brisk at the dog park - but not brisk enough to freeze the muddy perimeter!  Our Blue loves this area and tries hard to get other dogs to follow her down.  There are those brave few that follow, such as Rocky:

One dirty American Bulldog!


Rocky loves running down to the perimeter, but I think sometimes, he forgets that he will eventually have to run back UP the hill.  On a side note, for some weird reason, Rocky ends up sliding in dog poop more than any other dog I know at the park. (Thanks to those who don't scoop!!) Poor Rocky, he's not a fan of the bathtub!

Zoë has recently found another partner in crime, Bagel!! 

Bagel is a 'hound' adopted from the local animal services.  She is a lovely dog - full of energy and very friendly.  The thing about Bagel is that she has really long legs - much longer than Zoë, so despite the fact that she followed the Blue into the murkey trenches, only one dog emerged caked with mud:




One sparkling clean Bagel and one very dirty Zoë 

 After this romp with Bagel, Zoe was ABSOLUTELY filthy.  Caked and slimy with mud, we loaded her into the SUV and promptly carried her into the house and straight into the bathtub.  Although she likes being bathed, this one tested her patience!  She had to be rinsed twice before we got any shampoo on her.  The mud just rolled off her - from nose to tail.  Zoë is always so happy with herself when she's filthy and smelly, so this bath did not go over very big at all and she was very intolerant of the blowdry!

Although this won't be a popular thing to say, I can't wait until the ground freezes (and neither can Rocky!!)
