Wet Dog

I went to take Mojo on a walk at lunchtime and instead on going the normal route he turned right and took me to the park. I had planned on taking him to the park later this week when it was nicer out, but I went with it......

Even though it was drizzling and yucky out. But before I realized it, his paws were filthy. He was walking through mud puddles (not the sidewalk of our normal route) and he was going to have to get a bath when we got home (we have light carpet and the tub is upstairs.)

So I toweled off his paws downstairs and then bathed in all by myself upstairs. He's pretty good about getting bathed. He just tries to jump out of the tub too soon. We really need shower/tub or one of those adjustable hand held shower things that I could spray him with. After I washed him (yuck the tub was so disgusting afterward), I let him dry off on the porch. He really enjoyed watching the rain.

That evening it was still raining and Mojo decided that it was his new favorite thing was sitting on the porch and watching the rain.  I kept the door open and he'd go downstairs and say hi to Matt, race up the stairs, watch the rain, go tell Matt something he saw and repeat.  I went out there at one point and found a balled up pair of socks. I don't know if he brought it out there because he was playing with it, he will sometime bring a song outside with him. But he had the biggest smile on his face from playing out the porch.  He loved it.
