The field is close to 15 acres, the mud puddle is about 8 feet in diameter, why does Scout feel the need to find it and dive in on his belly? I don’t think we were outside for more than 10 minutes and he just dropped into the mud, and it was clumpy mud to boot. He was black from the belly down. Oh well, that’s the way he is sometimes. It was a beautiful day so he was able to just hang out on the deck and dry off today. Of course he could have been like Cody, another Aussie that is just a few months younger than Scout. Cody felt the need to roll all the way around in the mud and then he proceeded to jump on his owner who was wearing white pants. I guess it’s one of the small prices to pay for having a dog live with you 🙂
