Mud Mud Not So Glorious Mud!

Had a little Riley moment today! It was all my fault! Here's the low down:

I have taken to feeding the dogs separately. It cuts down on meal time confrontation and is a whole lot less messy. This evening I fed Sally in the kitchen and took Riley out to his dish. I left him for a few minutes to gobble down his food. I miss timed it! I went to bring Riley in but alas no Riley!! Now Riley is a good boy and unlike Sally he's no run away!! I went all round the house, looked up the street - no sign of Riley!!! I called his name and sure enough I saw him emerging from our next door neighbours' back garden... wet through and filthy! he'd obviously been for a quick roll in their very very sludgy pond! He ran straight for me, wagging his tail behind him then jumped right into my princess pretty pink and very clean kitchen... not for long. No sooner had he stepped in to the house than he began to shake with all his might. Within a twinkling of an eye my immaculate kitchen became covered in mud - not so glorious mud. It covered every unit, cupboard door and pink wall up to 2 metres high. Argh!!!

I spent about an hour cleaning up. Bless him! I rubbed him down and a little later took both dogs out for a walk. What did Riley do as soon as I let him off lead? You guessed it - he headed for the nearest muddy puddle and rolled. Oh boy!! No pictures today - I was too busy scrubbing walls and a dog!!
