So you can all scold me right off the top - once again I did not have my camera with me but really wished I did for this one!
Chicky had a very busy day today - we had be on the go since about 7:30 am and didn't get back home for R&R until 3pm. I needed to make a quick trip to the grocery store around 4:30 but as soon as I grabbed my purse & put my shoes on Chicky was right there at the door wanting to go with me! I figured we could go to the dog park for a short visit & she could then wait in the car while I dashed in the grocery store. Well, how plans change...
We hadn't been to the dog park in quite some time as it has been quite water logged and muddy and not much fun for Chicky. Well today there was only one mud hole and another pond sized water area. Chicky doesn't usually go for the water but today she trotted right into the mud hole & when I called her out the mud was up above her knees! She looked like she had black stockings on! I was trying to figure out how I could clean her off before putting her back in the car when she then ran into the "pond" and started splashing about! It must have looked fun because 5 more dogs joined her. They were all having a good time - they stayed in there a good 15 mins frolicky aboutn before Chicky decided she had enough and came out. Well at least she wasn't muddy but just wet & stinky!
And you likely guessed it - I skipped the grocery store - drove back home & proceeded to give Chicky a bath on the driveway. The sudsy water was nice & warm but unfortunately the rinse off from the garden hose was cold water.
I now have a soft, fluffy & nice smelling greyhound. But no pictures to document the event. I need a film crew to follow us around!
