why oh why?

[Brandi]

Im just curious, why oh why are doodles mud puppies??? I laugh sooo hard when I look at everyones pictures on here and my doodle friends pics on facebook, almost ALWAYS there is a mud puppy picture of a doodle just full of mud.  My poor doodles are in the shower more than not getting their feet and legs washed.  There is nothing more irritating than getting ready to go somewhere and letting the girls in and they are muddy to their shoulders.  In the shower they go, the whole time mumbling, "good thing you guyz are sooo cute".

So I would love to see everyones mud puppy pictures.  I know there is alot of them out there, let's see them ;)

I have attached pictures of Magnet at about 6 months old, after muddy fun.....(I tried to take a picture of Smudge full of mud, it doesn't work on her cuz she is jet blk lol)

[Nina, Phil, Harlow & Lacey]

I love the muddy beard!  Here is a pic of Harlow after some rainy, muddy day fun.

[Dori & Rua]

Harlow looks like he was dipped in mud...it's hard to tell what's mud and what's wet on him!

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

 

The one and ONLY time Rooney ever has gotten dirty!  Took hours to get him cleaned up.

[Dori & Rua]

I remember this one...look at those little legs!  Just like Rua when she gets wet.  Love the contrasting tail to the mud!

Yes Jane. We took Frankie and Johnny to the beach. For a one hour beach romp it took four or five hours to clean all the sand out of their coat. I told my hubby that no beach trip was worth that amount of mess and time. The sand is still in the creases of our car to this day. No..it is definitely a dry dog park for us now and the beach will be a distant memory. The funny thing was that I commented to my hubby that there was "no other doodles down there that day" Now I know why hee hee....

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

That's not Rooney!!!!!

[J and Riley (and Luna)]

I don't know... Luna is OBSESSED with mud.  She doesn't roll in it so much as dig and blow bubbles by shoving her muzzle into the mud.

 

Here are a couple of her (somehow in the middle of winter) visiting a mud puddle.  There was a slight thaw and some water collected at a downspout.

 

Caught in the act:

"Why won't you let me in?"

[Dori & Rua]

And I thought Rua's little nose tracks and licks on the front glass storm door (all at 18" and lower) where bad. Great picture, though, of Luna painting mud on the glass door.

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

YIKES!!!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Here is Vern ONE day after I had him groomed:

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Really Laurie, I would have a heart attack.I only wish I could let her do that....Am I a bad mommy?!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Seriously, I tried to stop him. There was only ONE mud hole at the dog park clear across the field. I figured he would not notice it, but he beelined straight for it and I watched him go. I yelled every command in the book and some extra ones too and still in he went. I then offered to sell him CHEAP to anyone in the park, but had no takers. Fudge never does this kind of stuff.
