Hello from Toronto, Canada!

Until I put gravel down in part of the yard, my three, especially Liam, would come to the door completely mud covered from the belly down. Thank goodness I have a shower just off the back entrance I could stick them in.

I only wish we had a shower. Zet likes to think that when he's covered in mud, it's the best time to lay on our bed. We end up getting huge, messy mud spots on our sheets! And when it comes time to give him a bath, he thinks that he's in a torture device. He listens to me when I calm him down, but he doesn't enjoy it at all!
 
Natalie and Liam are the two most apt to jump on furniture when they are muddy. It got to the point in the spring that I would bring them in one at a time, have a towel on the floor as well as a wash basin, and dip and wash each foot. I don't think that would have worked for Zet though. Tip: If it's muddy, throw a old blanket over the bed covers - at least if he gets up it would be so bad.

Thanks for the great tip! What a wonderful idea.
 
Welcome from Ottawa!

Dealing with muddy pups.....we have a little spring that runs around the back of our cottage that Bacca thinks is his personal mud spa. Every weekend when we first arrive at the cottage, it is the first place he visits (he even drinks it....blech!)

I've learned to always have towels handy at entrance doors, plus I discovered the Dirty Dog Mat (which you can also use as a towel) and the Pawmonster mitt (both are microfiber chammies with long loops that really grab at wet.

And like others, my beautiful duvet cover that I spent months deciding to buy, is permanently covered with a throw that is easily washed. :rolleyes2:

It seems like I'm definitely the only one with a sheltie who absolutely loves to get dirty! I'm sorry to hear about your duvet cover, but when those adorable little eyes catch yours, it almost doesn't matter. They can be pains, but shelties are so entertaining and super loyal.

I wouldn't change Zet for the world! He's not perfect, but who is?? I know I'm not!

I might look into the products you posted for me. Thanks a lot! It just doesn't help that whenever it rains, our backyard turns into a muddy pond!!
 
awww, what a great story!
Love it, adorable boy
Welcome Zet and his Mom and Dad to Sheltie Nation Forums from the Maritimes
