Sometimes you just have to laugh

this is why I bring my camera with me on all my walks:
This is D'Arcy. Totally busted. He was wallowing in this seconds earlier. Absolutely WALLOWING!

Belle was thinking about it but when she saw me she hightailed out of there. D'Arcy then tried the innocent 'who me? look:

"Mud? What Mud?"
but when that failed he showed his true colours- a total lack of contrition:

*sigh* what can you do? his face is too adorable to resist. And of course he got to swim in the pond- a perfect doggy walk completed!!
