Slip N' Slide

I don't usually write about my pets because a lot of people don't want to read, "my kids did this and it was so funny" stories...usually you have to be there to appreciate it...but I can't resist this one. I discovered this morning why Monty is a retired 3-year old racing dog...retired at the prime of his career. He decided this morning to use my backyard as his own private Slip N Slide. Remember that toy...long strip of plastic that you water down to slide across the yard...except in this case...it's mud...and slide across it he did. {slip}{squish}{sliiiiide}. Ever wipe mud off the side of a 75lb dog? Let's just say that it's a dirty job.
