The Adventures of Cato, Tara and Jasmine

 I can see you doing your dance now Tara...All that mud and boy you certainly looked happy with yourself. Even brother was in on all the fun...too bad about his coat though..Never worrry little man, your coat will be dry and ready for the next day by now. 

Love that sun shot and the gulls.......As Tara says...It's mine, mine, mine now 

Glorious Mud!   I'm so glad you two enjoyed your walk!  So how does your Mum clean those black feet after you get back home?  Coco and Benji quite like mud too as evidenced by how my kitchen floor looks today.    I've got to sweep and mop again.  

Mum:   well, I have to apply some planning to deal with their feet.

because i am working from home, and our walk has to be wedged into my lunch hour, There simply isn't time to wash and dry 8 feet before i plug back in to the computer, so i apply a Cheats Version of foot cleaning.  Lol.

1: where possible, run them through rain soaked grass or puddles just before returning to the car. 

2: have a towel in the back of the car and quickly wipe feet, tums and tails as they are loaded in.

3: have nice absorbant dog beds in the car, so they are half dry before we get home.

4: have their beds near the radiator all afternoon.

5: wait til they are bone dry, that evening, and then brush any remaining mud out.  It is amazing how clean this leaves them.

6: use Wen replenishing treatment mist as a leave in conditioner (cos it seems to help brush off tomorrows mud...)

haha!

i think it helps that both my parents had Spaniels waaay back in prehistory, and Wet Dog was the norm.  So towels and wipedowns and mud brushing are bred into me.  

Oooh what wonderful mud you found, love those feet! Wow that second to the last pic, the sun shot is fantastic!

Fun!
