I should really take pictures of Cooper when he gets home from the groomers. He always looks so clean and proper. But he’s a goofy high energy mess and he loves to get dirty.
This is what he looks like a week after the haircut. We like to keep him fluffy. He’s been through a few get dirty, get hosed off cycles at this point.
But I’ve been training for my 1st Ultra-marathon, so Cooper and I have been hitting the trail a lot. On a hot and muggy day like yesterday, that means that mud, any mud is a welcome sight to him.
Sure, I guess I could be the kind of dog owner that tells him to get out of the mosquito larvae infested puddle in the middle of the trail, but to be honest, I was a little jealous.
The puddle may have been gross but it sure beat the 89 degree Fahrenheit and humid heat in early May.
And when we get home, and he looks like this, it’s hard to deny the fact that I have a poodle, he loves to get muddy and he loves his life with my family.

LOL! Gross. Please tell me that Cooper does not sleep in your bed!
He does look very happy.
Mindee, he does not sleep in my bed. Our bed is pretty much the Cats last refuge from the dog. My mom thinks that dogs should sleep on the bed. I think that’s part of why I wanted to write this blog post.
You may have to go to Toys R Us and get a $7 kiddie pool too.
