Looks like a version of dog heaven for some athletic lovelies! Enjoy!

I think given the choice, my lazy rescue dog would pick urban streets and parks, where he could scavenge for dropped food. 😂

Love this idea for a thread ❤ I’ve added it to our Featured Topics on the Forum front page as I’d love to see some more muddy dogs!

I’ll have a look and see if I can find any in my photo folder as well 🙂

My pup when she was 8 months old. She ‘helped’ us dig for clams on the Oregon coast.

Gotta love a Soggy Doggy 😂

This is a dog I sat in Ireland…we got caught in a rainstorm on the way home from our walk on the beach:

And this is a photo his owner just sent me to show me what he’s been up to lately…

Cute!

I love when hosts send update photos. I always miss the pets.
