My white spotty greyhound has turned green

[FestiveSpirit]

The dogs had an extended walk today as I was blackberry picking too - Flick was brilliant, she was off the lead and kept coming back to make sure I was still there/OK

So when I got to the yard there were no horses in the lower paddocks.... I thought "well, she has been so good, I will try her off the lead in the big field".....

Cue mad greyhound running around in huge circles (so funny and so sweet to watch

) quickly followed by mad greyhound diving under one of the paddock fences

OMG I thought, she is going to chase the horses

Oh no, she had other things on her mind.... she found the nearest bit of horse poo and rolled in it comprehensively

Then she ignored me calling her whilst she ate some

then finally she came racing happily back across the field to me

I washed her at the yard with Bob's shampoo, but she is still green instead of white

Doncha just love them

That is one of the benefits of having a couple of BLACK dogs!!

Sounds like she had a ball though. Enjoy the blackberries.

Thank you Mattilda - she did have a great time bless her

Just making blackberry and apple crumble as I type

I think the best thing to wash them with is Hibiscrub! Otto rolled in something foul the other day (I have a sneaking suspicion it was human poo

) and I Hibiscrubbed it once and he was sparkly white and still smells of hibiscrubbed freshness!

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Oooh must remember that, she smells nicely of apple and aloe vera shampoo now but is still a funny colour

 

[kirstyhen]

I only used it as I had nothing else to hand at the time, but I was pleasantly surprised! Haven't tried it on the dreaded Fox Poo yet though

Well if you fed her, she would not have to go seeking out random sh!t piles for her main meal

poor dog

 

[FestiveSpirit]

I knew there was something I had forgotten to do today

Ac-tu-ally she is the one who has started refusing to eat her breakfast, I am thinking of changing her to one meal a day

Probably she is eating too much horse c*ap and feels full all the time

Just think how much money you will save on dog food when you live at the yard............

I want to see a picture of the green dog

Sorry Splotchy, this came to mind

Amazingly GinaB, the green dog has turned white again over night so I'm afraid no pics this time

I am quite sure there will be a next time however

so will have the camera ready

FB that is absolutely brilliant

I was wondering last night why on earth I would like another one next year

- I think I have officially changed my mind

 

[louisevictoria]

if all else fails I normally use Wahl's Dirty Beastie horse shampoo on my black terrier as she has a liking for rolling in fox or goose poo - also its what I use to keep my westie looking white (ish)

Err, mind control springs to mind

Must be part of their plan for world domination

 

[FestiveSpirit]

LOL

Where do you get the whippet things from? I could put them into my sig

 

[kirstyhen]

Just to redress the balance a little...

 

[kirstyhen]

OMG! I want one of these!!!

Look, they even got Henry to model! I knew he was plotting something in that crate....

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Hmmmm sadly their greyhounds look more like pointers or something

I am loving the whippet ones though
