To Wallow or not to Wallow? That is the question.
Important decisions our dogs must make.

ALWAYS wallow!

Absolutely always wallow! What surprised me was that she appeared to be thinking about it first, but then she is still quite a cautious little dog!

Always wallow is Homer's motto.
He's the only dog in his man trailing group that will choose wallow over treats.

Haha, you can't beat a good wallow, Cassie I'm sure would love that one!! Looks delightful.
But if there's one thing in life she's cautious about it's water, and how deep it might be, due I'm pretty sure to a mishap aged 5 months. Last Saturday when we went to the coast it was the first time I'd seen her really watching the waves. Here she is studying this moving water and weighing up whether or not it was coming for her and how close to them it was comfortable to be.

That's not a hijack, it's a contribution! I love how you can see her thinking!

I used to watch Moo make her decisions they always pleased her hardly ever me. Used to make me laugh though

Tatze is neither a wallower nor a swimmer. She does not like to get her bikini wet!
Keir was a wallower but not a swimmer. Hard work with long fur!
Spencer was a swimmer but not a wallower. The best sort - you can enjoy watching them swim and they come out clean
We have yet to find out with Echo!

Such contemplation from Joy and Cassie. Harley wouldn’t think twice, she would be straight in there. She wallows and swims. It’s so difficult to keep her out of water if she spots it. My car is full of blankets & towels 
Me too! Chewie is remarkably prissy for a Lab. He only swims in clean water. Weirdo.

We had VERY heavy rain all day yesterday - more than I've experienced here before. We took Squidge and Shadow on a long evening walk (Willow stayed home because of the storms still rumbling around) and found some totally flooded fields to splash around in. They had a whale of a time, zoomies and everything. This morning we drove there so Ginny could join in, too (it's too far for her to walk) and she was like a puppy, ears up, splashing about while the Labs charged around like lunatics.
Wallowing is definitely the only decision.
PS please don't judge me for the state of my car

PPS don't worry, it's back to lovely clear skies again today - phew! One day of rain is a novelty, any more than that and I start to get antsy

I suppose really Cass is more of a splasher than a wallower, she doesn't actually like mud, but loves to cool off in shallow water which is usually clean. She's just suspicious of taking her feet off the bottom, past experience tells her this is wise!
Apart from doing gundog stuff it is fine, as living where we do she would be wet all the time, the fact that she doesn't like mud means she is a clean girl. So I'm happy

Maisy is a wallower and throws in a roll just for good measure, no point doing it if you leave a clean spot!

Molly is neither a wader or a wallower. She is still anxious about water despite Cassie assuring her a shallow pond was Ok and wouldn't drown her

Maxx never swims out of his depth. He will walk into the water - e.g. the river or beach - but will not jump off the steps into the water or anything. This is why, I think, he doesn't get in our pool (thank goodness - my single hair-free place)
