There’s a little brook that runs along the side of the field where we take the dogs to play; it’s a dirty little brook but the dogs love it. They love to run through the brook and occasionally Sampson lays down in it. I’ve been trying to catch it on video but have been having a hard time with it until today. I uploaded it to youtube tonight, but let it buffer for a minute or so before watching it; because I’m pretty new to this youtube stuff. (I also got Delilah’s agility run up and the video of how excited Delilah gets when she gets her dinner.
The problem with the dogs running through the brook is they get absolutely filthy! So every time they go in the brook, we have to wash them off when we get home. What I started doing was washing them outside. I take an empty dog shampoo bottle, fill it with warm water and put a squirt of shampoo in it. We then use the soapy water to wash them quickly and rinse them off with the hose. Then we dry them off and let them in the house.
I’m happy that the warmer weather is coming so they aren’t outside freezing, but the water from the hose is still cold! Although as Chet pointed out, the brook isn’t warm water and they willingly go in there. :-0 Still I am calling the plumber to see how hard it would be to get an outside shower.
Ahhh, come on…we dogs work so hard at getting dirty and all you humans want is to get us clean.

Oh Sandy, if they were outside dogs I wouldn’t care, but they come in and lay on the carpet, and the bed and that makes more work for me and less time to take them outside to play. You want more time outside to play with your parents, don’t you? Thanks for reading!
