There is nothing quite like a Lab. I’ve never owned a border collie who loved to wallow in mud. Zinnia never passes up a chance to eat something disgusting or roll in much and mud.
And she is always quite proud of herself when she does, usually getting close to use to shake herself off. I think she can’t imagine that we would not love some mud also.
Fortunately for her, but unfortunately for us, we have a swamp on the farm, full of yuk. Zinnia loves it, she would wallow around like a rhino all day.
The good news is that she loves getting hosed in the warm weather. There is nothing like a Lab. Look how happy she is, and proud.
When I saw the title, I knew it would be a picture of Zinnia. It brought back memories of my yellow Lab and made me laugh.
Oh, that face…Zinnia is so proud of her mud! Reminds me of our late Finley, a Golden who couldn’t resist the wetlands/marsh along our driveway and into the woods behind us. Often he would take his little ‘sister’, our rescue of unknown origin, along for the fun and they’d emerge from the woods with that same mud-caked grin.
I have photos much like this one of our Feist Terrier Daisy who gave us 15 joy filled years and I treasure them and the happy grin on her face. I look forward to all of your photos but especially the ones you share of Zinnia. They never fail to make me smile.
What a great photo of a beautiful dog in the midst of what makes her ecstatically pleased with herself.
