Remy got into a little situation on Sunday. My very first day of puppy sitting him. I’ll never be trusted again.
As mentioned the weather here in Northern California was spectacular. We decided to have our hors d’oeuvres and wine out on the patio on Sunday. Before we could do that we needed to wash all the grime and bird poop off the patio chairs. We lined them up along the lawn and had an assembly line of spraying and wiping down.
When we were done we had a dozen clean chairs and a bit of a mud puddle along the edge of the patio and grass.
Turns out Remy is part pig. Or is the hippo the animal that likes to roll around in the mud? You would have thought the mud puddle was made out of liver treats the way he was flopping and rolling around. In a matter of a second and half he was completely black. Everyone wanted me to take a picture of him but seeing my career as a professional dog sitter quickly evaporating I declined to document this huge failing in my canine sitting skills.
I immediately took him back to the bathroom and commenced bathing him. He has special shampoo for white dogs that gets his coat all sparkly looking but when mixed with mud it was turning kind of lilacky-purple. I rinsed him off for a very long time but I don’t know – what do you think? Does he look a little bit pink?
Maybe it’s not noticeable.
Or maybe I’m pulling someone’s leg. How’s Mexico guys?
Just a little Photoshopping magic courtesy of Joe. See – he’s a bit tuckered out but a normal color.
OK, I’m gullible! You had me going there! I thought it was like the “blue” tint that little old ladies favor for their gray hair!
You are too cute, Andrea. I could feel Sara’s temperature start to rise. Tee hee. Remy and Ozzie are both adorable!
That was funny! I’m still smiling!
I kind of like Remy pink !!!! Clarice
Ryan and I are laughing so hard and falling off our internet cafe chairs!! We had a great time by the pool today, it is 85 degrees and is light out till 9pm. We took a bus tour of the romantic, jungle area of PV today, having lunch by a river. Missing our pup pup and missing you!!
Well you got me. LOL
Thanks for the laugh.
Cheers Linda
ha ha – we had to emergency wash one of our dogs last night …rolled in something DISGUSTING!
Please stop by my blog and read about a creative contest I am holding with a great prize. If you are not interested – please forward it onto as many people as you can. Thank you!
I fell for it too!!! As I was reading it I kept wondering what kind of mud would turn that color when mixed with shampoo!! Silly, silly!

Funny. I think he looks kind of cute in a pink coat.
ohh too funny but typical dog story
kind of looked cute in pink though
hey-I just linked your blog to mine. I found you, I think 5 blogs removed from the one I was on. Anyway, I laughed out loud so many times…rat urine? lavender-pink puppies? special glitter shampoo for his white coat? (all I could think of is blue rinse in old lady hair!)
Thanks for the great stuff! keep posting.
