And she rolls...I could stop her if I wanted to by shouting but I don't unless I have not got time to rinse/wash her off when I get home...she loves it and hey who am I to stop her.
But Sal is a Stafford and has a short coat and easy to rinse off I don't worry overyly
Ifshe were long coated or something I would have an aversion.
I hate the collar thing though....yukky...ughhh... I have in the past thrown Sal in the river/lake to clean off....and long grass comes in handy to poke through the holes in the collar.
Oh defiantly picking up our aversion Kazz if they are on the other end of a lead..

I get the same body language from Chloe I swear she gives me a smug look which says ''I am going to fling myself on top of this and you can't do a thing about it '' by the time I get around to saying 'leave' it's too late, her legs are already flailing in the air.
