April Showers Bring---Mud!!!

[DeeDee and Sheila]

Hi from Sheila:

Hi all you doods.  Yeah, it's spring and I have spring fever badly.  I am so much friskier, and honestly, why is Mom so hyped up about my constant barking at everything that lives and breathes in the backyard?  These brown fuzzy things tease me so from the top of the fence.  They take alot of barking at bc I am only 9 lbs., so I have to puff myself up and really get after them.  Boy I am fast, tho, and I check all four corners of my wooden fenced in yard. Zooming scares them off for at least awhile. I also bark in the front window alot which gets on Mom's nerves.

 

Well she did it!!  Mom went and got me a new raincoat. Oh why me?   She learned after winter to be prepared to either 1) give me a bath every time I went out and got snowballs all over me, or 2) have a raincoat handy to put me in before our walks if its rainy or muddy. 

 

Mom thinks it is darling but Dad has been advised to carry a 6 pack in his backpack on our walks for the neighbors so they won't laugh at us. Dad hates it when Mom dresses me up. What do you other doods think? Does your Mom have a raincoat? I'd love to see it.  
Uh oh! It's the mailman. Have to get to my post in the window to let him know who is boss!!!

Yeah-mom got me and Myla Martha Stewart raincoats today! He refused to go out of the yard with the bright yellow one so we got to go in the car and take it back. Daddy doesn't know about these yet, we just got them today and mommy wants to try them on before she shows him to make sure they fit and they were 40% off so he can't complain about nothing!! (well except for having to walk us with them on) Mine is red and Myla's is red. They look really nice. I hope it rains like they said it will so we can try them out and look at daddy's face when he gets disgusted! Daddy doesn't like us to get mud on us but mommy doesn't care because that's what water is for and we just want to get out of this HOUSE!!!!!!

I HATE the mud, so I feel your pain. Eight muddy paws is a lot of work :) Love the raincoat!!

Yep.  I've had doggie showers in almost every house I've moved into.  In laundry room.  SheShe is resigned to going in i after frolics where her legs get "stuff" in them.  I have a long hose on it.  Makes life easier.  I never had to "dry" w blower after w. labs, their coat is so waxy.  But the non shed of Sheila is worth it!!!!
