Little Joey stayed well away from the water hose and mud.. And smelled pretty as ever
Typical husband behavior I am afraid. I spend quite a bit of time fussing with the dogs' topknots (especially Bella's) and have asked him repeatedly to at least wait 24 hrs. after I groom her before he smashes it all up with his petting of her. It falls on deaf ears. Bella too is a tomboy and would run happily through mud if given the chance. Ripley is like Joey in that he prefers to stay dry and keep himself somewhat clean.
