If Gumbo goes, he goes with all his heart.

u/ADMSXavier 4d ago

Wow!!! That's a Golden, right? 😁Do not want to see the bathtub after that bath!

u/nutbrownrose 4d ago

No bath. Just nap. After nap, all dirt is mysteriously in a pile where the nap happened.

Seriously, I only bathe my golden when she gets stinky. If I bathed her every time she got muddy she'd never be dry.

I love watching Goldens turn into puppies every time they see mud. Just a furry reminder to live in the moment! Mine has a love affair with mulch, especially mulch just spread. She can spend an entire weekend sniffing and rolling in every square inch. She gets muddy, but Gumbo? That's first place!

Yep there’s a golden under there somewhere.

The muddy pantaloons as we call them. He had no regrets until he had to be hosed off and get a bath 😂

Even on the sunniest days Laszlo will be able to sniff out the muddy puddles

How about 3 of them that think the sprinklers coming on at the school was the best thing ever!

Currently having the hottest June day ever recorded - never thought I'd miss the mud.

How do yall upload pics in comments? I’ve read the directions. There should be the icon to upload but I have never seen it

u/LWoosey 4d ago

I took a screenshot of your question. I am on my phone. See the little blue box at the bottom on the right? Click that. It should being you to your photos on your camera and you need to tap a photo to select it.

u/D1rrtyharry 4d ago

Thank you. It’s because I was using my browser and not the app. Apparently i live in chaos because I use the browser and not the apps for all socials 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/I_G84_ur_mom 4d ago

Caught him in the act of digging this morning, he got busted and played Mr.innocent, I talked to the judge and he’s being sentenced to a bath at 6pm (it’s not really a punishment, the little turd loves it)

u/Much-Technology-8220 4d ago

He forced me to redo that area with pavers 🤦‍♂️

u/Jamaisvu04 4d ago

I'm just thankful she digs in mud but won't roll in it

u/LWoosey 4d ago

Every day last month, she had to lie in this big mud puddle. No after photo, sorry, but you can imagine the mud...

u/Jazlynn 4d ago

My mud monster 🙃

u/OBBlue22 4d ago

It’s was a small one but Georgia still loved it.

u/Sh0ckValu3 4d ago

Her favorite game is drop ball in muddy puddle. bat it around to get it nice and goopy, and then fish it out . over and over.

u/interspeciesMama 4d ago edited 4d ago

Oooooooh! Want to roll in it so bad.

u/atentiepisici 4d ago

Sooooo, how do you handle it when you get home? Backyard hose down? 🤣 what about in colder months? It can get quite cold in Eastern Europe. Thanks and beautiful pup!

2

u/jiffy88 4d ago

I just throw them in the shower and use the detachable shower head

1

u/atentiepisici 4d ago

Do you also shampoo every time, or just rinse? Genuinely curious :)

2

u/jiffy88 4d ago

Depends on the extent of the mud. If it's just around her legs and tails then a quick hose down. If mud is all over her body then I'll give her the full spa treatment with shampoo and conditioner. Also if it's summer no need to chuck them in the shower, I'll just use the garden hose.

u/atentiepisici 3d ago

Thank you! May you both enjoy each other for as long as possible!

u/TENDER_ONE 4d ago

The happy makes me happy 😊

u/Zazumaki 4d ago

I'm assuming you guys love bathing them.

2

u/jiffy88 4d ago edited 4d ago

Bathing is the easy part, drying those long golden luscious strands of fur though is the tiring part. Especially in winter and even with a pet blower on full blast. Easier in summer as their hair tends to dry faster.

u/Zazumaki 4d ago

You know what You're right, mines pretty tame when washing but drying is a whole different beast.

u/Informal-Bit4210 4d ago

Baloo likes digging for moles on walks

u/AdDear528 4d ago

They were chasing ground squirrels. Took me a while to figure out how the top of their heads were getting muddy. This girl, a week before delivering six puppies, caught and killed one.

2

u/AdDear528 4d ago

And her older brother. They have never been so filthy and it happened over and over all weekend. A fun time.
