Nigel's Dirt Baths

[rainyruth]

We have a doggie door which leads to a large fenced in yard. Nigel likes to roll around in the garden spot and then come back in the house just Black and Dusty! Do any of your bullies do this?

OOOOO We soooo need a pic of that! Gracie is like that! She is always getting muddy and dirty!

 

[MamaAndi]

Oh yes! And right now everything in Nebraska seems to be soggy/muddy! Tank comes in absolutely covered in mud and dirt. It always looks like we had a buffalo stampede when the dogs come in from outside!

Sorry, can't say mine do. Actually...they are very clean and when I change their floor towels they immediately lay on the freshly laundered ones. One time BabyGirl had a poopie accident in her room (my fault, got up late) and she covered it with another towel (she pushes them with her nose) and she wouldn't go near it and stared at the spot till mommy investigated. I thought it was so cute that she cares about keeping her pen clean of offensive ! Once in a while BabyGirl will dig up a little grass in the back yard and get her toe nails dirty but that's about it.

Ugh, ours just recently doing this, usually right after or a day after a bath. Very frustrating and he's been doing it so much we have to go outside with him now and watch him and yell at him if he even looks like he is going to get down and start rolling in the areas with dirt in our yard. Funny, the thread about spanking, this was the 1 time, I seriously almost spanked him, was after an evening bath, and when I let him out/in at 9 PM, he was black, and I had to do it all over again and had work the next day, lol!
DO you think they itch and that is why they do it? Ours never scratches himself, so I wonder if that's what he's doing or if he just wants to be a piggy?

HRH would be totally mortified if she got her feet in mud. She doesn't leave the sidewalk when it's snowing or raining. Just sort of squats at the edge.
Well except for those (thankfully not often) times when she has stepped in her own . That didn't phase her at all.

My boys love to play in mud, too. Must be a boys will be boys thing! In this house our pet door leads to a fenced patio area with cement flooring so they don't get muddy at home much anymore!

I do have some pics of him all dirty but the camera doesn't really pick it up very well darn it!

We didn't really have a winter here in Nebraska, huh? I even saw some bugs flying around the other day!

Mine still go out to potty even in wet muddy conditions and one time I wiped their paws and bellys with a towel when they came back in...well don't you know that now I have to do that all the time when it's wet and muddy out. lol Karly may run in and not mind if I don't do it but Nigel will stand there by the door and look at me like "'ahem' my paws?" So then I go for the towel and tell them Ok let me clean your paws! and they'll stand still and let me. So I think mine are not into the let's get dirty thing but they may enjoy a romp chasing each other since they know mommy will clean their paws when they go inside. Spoiled Spoiled Spoiled hehehe
