Wish I had a camera at the dog park. Sunday May 10 I took Mia to the one at Conroy Pit. It was a cold day so there werne't that many people out, but the parking lot was full still.
About 5 minutes in I removed her leash to give her some freedom. About 10 minutes in she saw a muddy puddle. No big deal, she never did much with them before, other than just wtanding and licking the nasty water.
Well, before I know it she'd upside down in the muddy water. I ran over as she's shaking off. "Not too bad considering" I thought to myself. the puddle wasn't that muddy at least.
Apparently Mia didn't think it was that bad either because she ran to the next puddle that WAS bad. I was calling her but she ignored me. And have you ever tried to catch a golden retriver when she's running? Good luck.
As soon as she had reached the puddle she's rubbing her snout in the mud and rolling in it. People laughing and calling her a "dirty dog". duh.
So at that point I mainly gave up. if I could stop her I would. Normally she was able to get to it before me though. She did that 5 or 6 times during our walk.
When we got home it was straight to the tub for her bath... Oh, did I mention she hates baths? I wouldn't mind her liking mud if she also liked baths.
So I bathed her, much to her dismay. On a positive note she let me use the shower head without too much fuss for the first time. on a negative note my treat bag ripped open and dumped a bag full of treats into the bathwater.
