Farley here,
Some of you may know I’m a bit of a softy. Comfort is my thing. Except when my brain turns off and I’m playing.
I went for a little dip in a creek this week, along with three other dogs, so what happened wasn’t all my fault.
The creek bottom was full of black mud, and Kristina wasn’t too thrilled with me.
When we got home, she washed me. But really, did she have to use the outside hose? Couldn’t she have run a bath inside the house?
No, she says. I was too dirty. She shampooed me twice. Twice.
I don’t like to be shampooed, so I tricked her and huddled in the living room and shivered and shook. I wasn’t really cold, but I wanted some love. So what does she do? She wraps me in a towel.
I think she likes it when I look silly. But I do have to give her credit. She used one of her good towels because all mine were covered with mud 😉
Woof woof.

Hose water is COLD! We have well water which seems to be colder. I never get dirty so the hose is not a problem for me

It gave me an excuse to get extra cuddles from Kristina. You know how she babies me.

I hope you learned how to do the body tremors. That really makes them feel sorry for you

I did, I did. Kristina is the biggest softy I know, and she can’t resist me 🙂 Especially if she thinks I’m not happy. I cuddle her too. I can tell if she’s sad and needs me to lick her cheek.

Farley you would get along well with my dog, Bau (short for Mr. Baudelaire). He loves getting all muddy and hates when I bathe him. Actually the blanket on you is really in style these days, at least politically, when our leaders across Canada are discussing the Berka.:) Just tell Kristina to pull it up a bit more over your mouth and you could be the poster dog for some campaigns. 🙂 .

Since I’m a dog, I can’t laugh out loud, but that’s what I’m doing.

Better mud than skunks and porcupines! What a cutie. 🙂

I bit a skunk – twice. Once I went to the vet and second time Kristina took care of me all by herself. You’d think I’d learn. I believe both times the skunk laughed at me.

PS. No skunk was hurt during the making of this story.

That must have required a lot of shampoo!
