my tea, and the phone, and went outside, preceded by Happy. The large sun umbrella was opened, and I made myself comfortable to knit for a while. I had one eye on him though, just in case. It was clear immediately that he had a great time out, splish splashing all over the back yard, when he found a spot where water made a puddle. First he was a little hesitant, and tipped a paw in it, let his Frisbee fall into it, and then his "gloves" were off, and he went at it. By that time I was on my way inside to get the camera.My first reaction though was, "God no, don't play in the mud!", but what the heck, can't really do anything about it anyway now. This is my favorite photo of this bunch:
I also like this one:
This is the cleaning station, where he throws in his toys, and dives after them. Later he'll be the one in the wading pool being washed.
Here's some digging action:
After I was done taking pictures, he thanked me by shaking himself, and getting me sprinkled from head to toes.
Later, when we tried to clean him up (hose down) he bucked like a horse, and we ended up all being wet too.
They say tomorrow will be a nice, warm day as well. Somehow I don't think I'll let him run loose though.
See you tomorrow with Handspun Friday!

He looks so grown up, and yet still so much like a puppy! He's adorable all covered in mud . . . did you play in some mud too? :)
There's nothing quite like a dirty dog!
Oh, my! My two have been in similar messes as well. :)
Now that is the picture of a happy Happy!
Love that sock and those muddy paws. They have so much fun getting dirty. Spring always brings a sandy mud pit to our house, top that off with Molly laying outside in my mulch..... Moose says he's going to replace the mulch with stones so she doesn't drag it all in :)
Very cute pictures! Sounds like he had a wonderful time on a nice day...
What a cutie! It is fun to make mud pies ~ everyone knows that!
Love the idea of a wading pool....
That Happy, he's a comic, isn't he? I swear, you should get someone to make a cartoon strip of his antics!
Still, he's so handsome, even with the mud all over.
It seems like you have to be just as watchful as I have to be looking after the kids when I'm knitting outdoors *lol*
It's raining today with a lot of wind, so we might get it muddy outside here too :) Looking forward to put the kids in rainclothes and let them play in the mud!
Have a great weekend!!
Doch, so langsam waechst Happy in seine Ohren hinein...
Prima Idee mit der "Waschstation", so eine werden wir auch fuer Nicky anlegen.
Liebe Gruesse und Euch ein wunderbares Osterfest!
Birgit
yea mud! :)
He looks like he had a great time!
Sounds like you both had a good day , mud and all . You gotta love that pup , he's iving up to his name .
Love your sock too btw ...
He and my Monty would be a match made in Heaven! Monty is the mud-roller, he's taught all the other dogs at the dog park all the fun attributes of getting as muddy as possible, to the dismay of all their parents, I just say, You can't keep a golden out of the water...or the mud, after all, it's got water in it!
OMG my guys looks just the same! I'm going to get the pool out and make it a cleaning station too, such a great idea
What a lovely pictures! Ysja also likes to get dirty and wet. It is a mess but aren't dogs adorable like this?!
Beautiful spinning! I haven't had much time to spin, and I'm missing it. Totally enjoyed the pictures of Happy and your walk on the trails. That would be fun to see him getting hosed down after his mud bath :)
