C,
Do the schnauzer boyz get to do the same, or is there typically too much snow up there for them to get the opportunity?
We hope you have a great weekend. 🙂

They usually just roll if there’s something rank to roll in! Ha-ha!
I do their grooming myself, so we keep it pretty short and clean for in the house on the bed living. Have a great weekend and soak up some sun for us, too!

Pia,
The girls and Whisky love their bandanas and they all love rolling in the scratchy dead grass… it feels so good to them! Unfortunately, they bring it all into the house. Don and I call it “accessorizing.” 🙂 It just gives us another reason to look forward to spring and green grass. 🙂

Oh BOY, that felt good!
For the one day that we had good weather and a lot of the snow melted, the dogs brought in 20% of the newly-exposed lawn’s dead grass…

He does enjoy long rolls in scratchy dead grass. He’s always quite pleased with himself afterwards.

Time for new training: “Shake it off!”

No, Whisky has been with Don for almost ten years now (and with us at Morning Bray Farm since the beginning). Here’s Whisky’s original blog post: https://morningbrayfarm.com/2010/02/05/the-water-boy/
Whisky is a good boy! 😀

CeeCee,
I thought of you when I took these pictures and posted them last night. I remember you did a post about this at your house last year and was happy to know that we weren’t alone. 😀 The floors in our house are also covered with dead grass… that’s part of the beauty of having a doggie door.

Justina, I have lessened the grass situation to a degree. I actually got out there with a bagging mower and cut the dead grass very low. It seems to have helped in the dog yard, anyway. Out in open spaces, I’m all out of luck.

That used to happen with my beagle mix. She’d get a bath and run right out and roll in poo of one sort or another. C’est la vie, I suppose! 🙂

Too cute! Our corgi mix is a canine snow scoop. She pushes through the snow with her nose. I just love watching her. Glad somebody here still likes the snow. Personally, I’d rather have some warm soil to roll on – like your Whisky! He is just adorable 🙂

With the dead grass in the winter and the horrid stickers in the summer here in southern New Mexico, we have to keep our pups clipped down all the time. However, as your photos show, even short hair can bring quite a load inside–usually right after I finish vacuuming.
I love these photos–wonderful captures, especially the next-to-last one!
