Muddy Times: Gallery Added

Murphy this morning. She appears oblivious to the dirty feet and under carriage. I have to laugh.

This is Murphy just before she departed today. She sure cleans up nicely and look at all that black coming in.

Due to the rain everyone is rather messy. PJ and Lucy gets a bath (they dropped in for the day) and tomorrow  Radar and Kona gets a bath. This rain sure offers it's challenges.

Here's a small gallery. Watch how PJ and Ozzie the Schnauzer mix plays with the pups in the Adele gallery. I am placing them up next.

PS: Thank you to PJ AND Lucy's mom for such a great holiday present. She gave me a wonder woman grooming shirt.  Oh my gad is it adorable. Deepest thanks!!

Murphy does clean up well! Love his coat and the black coming in. Beautiful. Yes, messy times, same here. If it gets colder, the grass may freeze and be less muddy. Hope so.

Darlah : Will Murphy lose the black and go back to white as she gets older?

My dog is sort of sable and when you lift the hair there are bands of light brownish, black, gray and white so appears a different colour thru the year. oh and i nearly forgot the rusty red band too.

I love a dog that loves to get messy! But what a beauty when she's all cleaned up. Amazing how her colour is changing - she may end up with 2 black ears

What a laugh. Murphy looks so happy with his muddy paws. But you are right - she is a beauty and stands so regal when she is cleaned up. Don't they all love showing off. I love it!!!

We've been missing the rain in the Pickering area and am so thankful. Laci doesn't like the rain. It's been quite mild, but not wet, so we're fortunate.

I can't get over how much more precipitation Richmond Hill receives. More rain and more snow. And funny, as we're fairly close to the lake.

Oh I'm glad you liked it, now you know what I meant? This one fits you better cause you are a Wonder Woman!
Sherry, Murphy is looking gorgeous!!!!

Murphy 'is' so beautiful. I am so surprised to see the black coming into her coat, wow. Risa is as regal as ever.

You are a Wonder Woman, no doubt about it.

Thanks for all the compliments for Murphy. She's definitely a fun loving dog. She loves water so much she doesn't care if there's mud in it :). Thank goodness for Darlah. I never could have gotten her paws clean.

Her colour is changing and she seems to have a lot of silver in her.

Sorry Sherry, I keep referring to Murphy as "he". She is beautiful.

December 15, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterAnne and Cooper

Love her black bleeding through too. It seems to be more pronounced lately where before you would just notice it when she was wet.

Love how they are ever changing.

December 15, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Oh Adriana: It was a huge surprise and you made my day. Love it!!! Thank you again, truly!

December 15, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

It's not rain but mist. It's irritating mist enough to dampen things and make it oh so muddy. Markham actually gets more snow than us by far. Then you hit northumberland county and well I would hibernate until we had a snow blower so we could do paths.

December 15, 2015 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Murphy sure does clean up nicely. She does love to get ' down and dirty'.
The changing coat colour is beautiful.

December 15, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterKathy & Kona

Murphy is a real cutie!
