How to Keep Your Doodle Clean

[Donna K & Quincy]

Now for those of you who are familiar with the Australian connotation for doodle, get your mind out of the gutter, that is not the doodle I am referring to. To say that our weather has been atricious would be an understatement, we have had 2 weeks of cold, rain, drizzle and fog, and when I say cold that's exactly what I mean. It has been so cold we now consider 60 degrees a lovely warm day. Getting the doodle out to exercise has been quite a chore and he does get a little stir crazy after a couple of days. With all the rain we have had, our favorite trails are really dirty and muddy, not a good mix when you have a cream colored doodle. Well today it isn't raining so we decided it was time to break out and go for a hike, so off we went to one of our favorite trails. A few feet into the beginning of the trail we encountered our first of many giant mud puddles, so what do you do when you want to keep your doodle clean, wellllllllll, see the attached photo collage.

Despite the best efforts of DH, there was just too much mud to battle and we now have a freshly bathed, squeaky clean doodle.

Quincy!  You're no light weight!  You're very lucky your daddy loves you!  Donna you are one wonderful mom to let Quincy romp in the mud!

LOL!  One of the reasons I wanted a 30 pound doodle was so that I could carry him/her.  I have to carry Barney and Sundog in the summer over the scorching Arizona pavement.

Now that's funny my DH picks 26lb Chloe up over puddles!! So embarassing! This at least is worth it.Was DH or Quincy tired when you got home??

Awe, this is too cute. SophieBear has been a muddy mess lately too. At least it's better than in the spring when her fur was long and shaggy. At least all that doodle carrying will tire out your DH, even if the doodle is still reved up.

DeeDee, we may have won that battle but we lost the war.

[DeeDee and Sheila]

You gotta be kidding. Priceless.  Did doodle ever get to touch his paws on the ground?

[Donna K & Quincy]

I gave Quincy his bath, it was the least I could do have such a great attempt by DH to keep him clean.

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

LOL!! So who gave Quincy his bath??
