Mud Pups and Water Rats

Mr Miki starting off the walk in style...

Stormy struggling to get her groove back, while little Lola tries to get in on the action

It was the four older puppies first time out on a walk with the group...

Of course they quickly found the water

If you look closely you will also see spruce branches stuck to their fur...see Miki top right (it isn't poop, honest)

This picture cracks me up with Mayer seeing what is coming and putting on the brakes!

He waited for them to return and taunted them!

Shaking it off

Juno had several episodes of the sillies in the big puddle.  The pictures looked a little too wacky to publish, but this one looks much more serious than she was...

Eva the instigator leaping through the deep stuff

Paris following along fell into the trap!

And poor Miki got stuck on a piece of ice which gave away...it took him a second to figure a way out.  I thought I was going to have to rescue him, but he was fine.

Early herding instinct...Finn on left, Rehannah and Lola with the very wet Valerie and Miki

A Bunch of Mudders

It all starts out innocently enough...just a romp in the field.

Then one of them leads the way...

Don't want to name names, but Juno is often known to be a mudder...

And Eva as well.

Mayer has become one. Compare and contrast with the photo from last weekend!

And then they are all in the game. Yep, this is how it happens; our guys gravitate to a ditch than runs between the fields. They jump in it, over it, wade through it, and of course...have a drink.

Miley prefers to leap while her mother Paris trolls along with her face in the water.

Emma has been a water rat from a young age...

Visiting Bunny is a hesitant mudder...but she did manage to wade in.

Little Diva is newly initiated; having tested the puddles in the other field earlier in the day.

She's got game!

Owen is not as impressed!

While little "Miki" thinks this is a blast...

Cocoa in fine form; showing she can do more than look pretty in the ring!

She can figure out the best way through the rushes...

Yes, that's our show dog!

OK...not all are into being wet. Nova doesn't like that sort of thing. She has never gone near the ditch, or a puddle if she can avoid it. But rolling in the grass...heaven!I think it is safe to say they had a pretty good time!

Winding down and heading for home...

Twofer

Take home one wet, dirty dog and we'll throw in another for FREE! Actually the Poodle is a gimme right now...ha ha!!!! Kidding, just KIDDING; don't get all crazy on me now!

LuAnne 13 yrs and her dam, Lexus 15 years. LuAnne finds the last bit of snow...

Taboo and Juno and a great big puddle.

Bunny showing fabulous style and Bridgit.

LuAnne and Paris

Swamp Dogs

It was a rainy day and I decided to take the dogs in back since they were wet anyway...

I took them over to the far field, where there is standing water in the Spring. I figured they needed to wash their feet...

Juno taking the plunge!

It was a little deeper than they expected!

Poor little Bridgit is up to her armpits!

Heading off in all directions. Bridgit wishing she wasn't so vertically challenged!
