If you were a dog, you'd do this too

First of all, it's funny. Funny dogs are popular dogs.

Second, it's cool and refreshing. In fact, the dog's owner (no, this is not our dog) told us that some day she was going to crawl into the mud and try it herself. I asked if I could watch when she did that, and she immediately specified that she would be fully clothed. Fair enough. I still want to watch.

Third, by doing this you get rid of that icky shampoo smell and replace it with the sweet, sweet smell of spring muck, with all the stuff rotting in it and such. (Remember, you're a dog here).

But fourth and most important, it makes you king of the mud puddle!

This is solo the golden retriever. My understanding is that his owner had to go straight to work from the dog park. I'm only guessing, but I'd say she might have arrived late!

... either that, or the sofa was a real mess when she got home.
