Who’s the boss?

Like it or not dogs rule our lives in more than one way, from the minute they walk in our place they set the rules. I had to remove all the carpeting because of Doggy, I didn’t want them ruined with pee, for the last 3 months my house has looked like a kennel, like if we were renting a room at Doggy’s place. You alter your social life because there’s a furry beast waiting for you at home, but that’s the easy part. What about waking up earlier than usual because you must exercise your dog, feed them, do your own workout, take a shower and get ready for work?
In my case I don’t only have to allow time for all the above but also 30 minutes to spare just in case Doggy decides to jump in a puddle and get covered on mud, taking him home like that is out of the question, I have to walk with him for an extra 30 minutes but not before rinsing him with clean water and still gotta be on time at work.
Why do I allow him to do that?
Simple because he runs for 1 hour with me, then does his playing with Django and eagerly looks for water, he’s hot and he loves to swim or on its absence roll on a muddy puddle.
I usually avoid that part of the park because I know the sprinklers are usually on, but in hot days like yesterday I just can’t say no, an honestly, seeing how happy he gets even if later on it’s gonna take me 3 hours to remove every leave or flower stuck to his fur it’s worth it.
Never mind the NOOO on the video
BOL doggy looked like he was having a great time!!!
He was having a blast
Doggy is so lucky to have a mom who’s willing to get up extra early just so he can have some fun in the mud!
hahahaha I’m a guy hahahahaha
That made me laugh hahahaha
The problem is that he also does that when is cold and it’s even harder to dry.
That looks like so much fun!!!!
For them it was for me not much :/
You could always give it a try BOL
Now that you mention it, Ive done it, I’m played mud volleyball, it was fun lol
See mud rules!!
OMG Who changed a cuddly water poodle into “the swamp thing”? Hope you will get the fabulous Doggy back
)))
He doesn’t like to look clean, he loves his dirt.
Wow, that’s my fav thing ever! As it rains here 90% of the time, weee’s have lot’s of deep muddy puddles. Me being of luv-ley white furr, yooo’s can imagine what’s I looks like, after a romp in the mud!!
Woofies out loud! x
Clearly you make someone really happy lol
I would buy you a neoprene suit, nice little boots to keep you from getting you precious white fur covered on mud.
Jen says she knows what ya mean. She also gets up early, and with this heat wave had to get up even earlier so we could get time outdoors before it got too hot.
LOL I do the exact same thing when Sampson heads for the little brook on the side of the field. When it is fat and swollen with rain I don’t care, but as it dries up…..well yes you get a dirty dog.
But Doggy looks so happy how could you deny him that small pleasure?
You should not forget that Doggy is a Spanish WATER Dog! Moreover, several dogs have already discovered the beneficial effects of mud bath therapy. A few examples:
Hungarian vizslas (or rather vizsla-mix in the first case):

Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog for a little while today. I had a great time and tried to leave my campsite as good as when I arrived. I’ll be back!
You are welcome to camp anytime!
I’ll be back. I liked the campground. The facilities were excellent!
