We've been having periods of heavy rain that last all of 3-5 minutes. The rain does several things: #1 drives the humidity WAY up, #2 fills the hole Joy dug up with water.
This leaves Joy a place to play.
When I let her out to potty and for some time to be outside, as she doesn't want to "hang out" outside during the heat of the day, I told her to stay out of the mud hole. I think that was a mistake. It was like saying to her, "go ahead and play in the mud dear!"
I went outside to get her and this is what I was met with!!!! Oh my!!! Alan had just come in ahead of her and told me that she'd been laying on the ground with her front feet and mouth in the mud! Yes, the picture below is a bit blurry but I tried to show the mud on her mouth.
"But MOM you told me to play in the mud!!!"
Not much to do but round Daniel up and have him hold her in one place in the front yard while I hosed her off. She wasn't very happy about it. This was the 2nd time I'd hosed her off today. Earlier she'd just walked through the mud, not laid in it.Pets, they keep you on your toes!

Awwww...it's a Mud Puppy! LOL My dog wont go in her dog house when it rains. Silly thing..she looks like a drowned RAT! Maybe its a cool down thing for her after enduring the heat.
Oh that's so funny! Yep dogs just won't stay out of messes. During the winter it rains for about 6 months here. So, I keep a towel and basin by the door just in case someone "accidently on purpose" falls into a mud puddle.
Now that's some muddy paws...lol. I bet she loved it.
