Spa treatment for free!

Today was really hot at the park and most of my dog pals were in the water. I'm not usually a water dog but today I decided to take a wade in the shallow part. Three great things happened due to this brilliant decision. Number 1--I could get a drink anytime I wanted. Number 2--I got to splash and play with the other dogs. And Number 3--after exiting the water I rolled in a big dirt pile creating a nice mud mask for my coat. Melanie was none too pleased about this third thing, but I convinced her that being the weekend, a boy is entitled to a little fun. And when I decided later to go back into the water most of it washed off so it was a win win situation! Then we took a walk so I could dry off a little before heading home (to my dreaded arch enemy the bathtub!)
