I looked up from my living room chair to see Emmy peering in at me from the window. She had jumped up onto the picnic table to stare mournfully in. I must say she has an ability to jump that surprises me. You may be able to tell from her paws that she has been frolicking in the mud. No hard freeze here yet, so the yard is her mud pit of fun.
Happy New Year to all, those indoors and those wishing they were!

Our dog is eight and still comes in with muddy paws. Emmy has grown a lot already.

She is really turning into a dog from a puppy.

Oh, Emmy, you have discovered how wonderful mud is. Do you know we have a mud kitchen on the playground? The boot clean-up takes some time before the children come inside. Maybe Mom and Dad need a dishpan of water and a towel on the porch for your paws? Have fun in the mud!

We did finally get out a towel.

Happy New Year in return
Agree with Jennie
However here in NZ there is absolutely no natural mud to frolic in but plenty of sun.

lol anyone out there here, over the past few days would have been yelling ‘let me in’!
I’m not complaining about no warm weather at the moment – we’ve had temps over 38c/86f going up to 40c/104f and even I have been staying indoors in the cool.😎
Happy New Year Elizabeth to you and all you love
Take care

No, she is in all the time. Not to worry. She loves running around outside also.

Such a cute puppy. One of my former dogs loved mud. Annie doesn’t like her paws wet.

We had a dog who would look out at the weather before setting foot outside. Not Emmy though.

Happy New Year, Elizabeth! Beautiful dog. A puppy yet? We are constantly wiping Daisy’s feet but still get paw prints on lighter rugs. And the shedding? Oh, my! But she’s my wife’s best friend…

I can’t believe that we went ahead and got a puppy at our age. She is definitely keeping us active! And dirty!
