We can do a study and see how long it take for someone to respond to us before posting it in the general section.

I make them walk through the water puddles, that washes the mud off their feet, and then I just dry them. I don't allow zoomies or wrestling during the spring because of the mud...but if they do manage to get muddy, I wipe most of it off with a towel, wait until the rest dries and then brush the rest off. Works great, even on my little guy with all his cream colored parts.

Okay and I'm reading the entire site tonight Jeff....sheesh miss a week of going through all of it and....

When Jazz was tiny and we'd go to the lake she would be a mudpuppy. I'd dunk her in the lake then wrap her in a towel.

I don't get out much with her since getting sick but perhaps this summer will be see us on more adventures. Now, when coming in from outside, I hold a towel in front of me, have her shake off before coming in, then wrap the towel around her and wrastle her to the ground where I wipe her off. I usually get most of it off her with minimum fall out when she dries.

I just wait for Butters to dry then sweep up the dry dirt. He just falls right off of him when he dries. So I just try and coral him until then.
