Happy Dog

[Illyria54]

Hope I have done this right, thought I would like to share this pic with you, She has a grin a mile wide, PHOEBE just loves water, wanted to post something light hearted as have just watched a programme covering all the horrendous treatment of horse and donkeys in Egypt, so looked at this pic taken just this afternoon it made me smile again. It's hard to believe, but she was actually spotless 20 seconds before I took this!!lol.

Glad of something light hearted- needed it to cheer me up!
She looks just like my old white GSD, I miss him loads but dont miss how dirty he got either!

Thanks for sharing such a nice picture! =)

I love to see dogs in this happy state,as long (as there not mine lol ) great GypsyX

[Illyria54]

I have always up until now had the usual colour GSD but decided I would like a change (as you do)! I must have been mad!! during the Winter if it is particularly wet she will be permanently in this state, I bought her a rigid paddling pool in the Summer, she won't use it, not muddy enough. lol
But WE love her.

She is lovely, bet she is hard to keep clean

[Illyria54]

That would be an understatement, she is due for a bath this weekend, that's fun!!! she doesn't like the hairdryer so its a question of using just about every towel we possess to get her dry, I have an old toweling dressing gown I wrap around her, she thinks that is great fun. As soon as we let her go she bombs around the house going completely nuts!

[Illyria54]

This is what she SHOULD look like!

I kind of like her looking messy, she's enjoying herself. And it made me smile!

[hiya_123]

awwwww how cute :)

[Illyria54]

A funny story about her. A few months ago someone reported in our local paper that they had spotted a white wolf on our local common!!! She does look very wolf-like from a distance, a woman from our road had reported it, boy did she feel silly when I stopped her in the post office and showed her Phoebe in the car.

I like the look of her both dirty and clean, but I have to admit i think I prefer her in the water. Max loves the water but he wont stand while I take a picture, in fact he's usually to busy rolling and splashing about that I can't get near him for spray

[Illyria54]

Nothing like that with Pheebs ....she poses, she sees the camera and she stops every few yards and looks back as if to say 'which side to do want this time?' lol, Harvey my Borderline Collie on the other hand will not stand still for 1 single minute, or he will come so close you couldn't get a decent pic anyways. I love my dogs whether they are covered in mud or spotless, you can imagine my kitchen floor is never clean for long, I have dog towels and sheepskin vetbed lying all over the place when the weather is wet, but who cares!!??

Max is ok normally, it's just when he gets in water, here he is supervising the workmen laying my patio

[pussnboots]

Aww I love the pics of your dogs. I would love a dog but my 2 cats would take a very dim view if one entered their house.
