Mud, mud, glorious mud!

As October progressed it started raining again, rain means mud and Holly is in her muddy element on walks.

This did mean that now lifting a dog in a cart over a style was not quite as desirable as it had been, because now you were likely to end up with just as much mud on you as Holly had had on her. But we continued to lift her over styles and go on muddy walks because she was thoroughly enjoying herself.

There was one field that the mud was just a bit too deep for Holly to make it through. I didn't realise this at the time when I picked her up and passed her over the style to a friend. But he had realised and instead of putting her down carried her all the way over the deep mud to the grass. Proof he is probably as barmy as the rest of us as Holly plus cart (plus mud) probably weighs almost 30Kg.

Happy Muddy Puppy!
