This is Zoe (8 months old now). She had her regular morning play date at the neighbor's house with her little buddy, Copper. The neighbor had the sprinklers on to water the gated-off lawn on the left side of the back yard, unaware that water was flowing under the deck where the dogs had previously dug a dry canal in the dirt. But from inside the house, she kept hearing this weird Sploosh! Sploosh! sound. The water had turned their little dirt canal into an Instant Mud Slip 'n Slide and the dogs were taking turns flinging themselves down it.
As soon as I brought her home and got the collar/leash off, she went straight for "her" couch and crashed. Guess mud-frolicking is tiring work.
Then she had not one, but two baths.
