See what happens when you hang around with terriers! (2 terriers and a Staffie)

Went for a lovely walk with Gerri (Tillytheterrier) yesterday along the riverside at Shoreham. The weather was kind although it was a bit drizzly and very muddy!

Some may know that Alfie has had a few 'issues' with getting his paws wet and muddy and he has used avoidance at every opportunity. But, yesterday we think he saw the fun that his big sis and her best buddy were having and he figured, 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!!'

Tilly, who had previously been swiming in the river and had rolled in about 5 unidentified substances.



Lily, who had only paddled but had rolled in a very dead magpie, a similar amount of unknown substances and eaten a little bit of fish. (please note: her harness is normally a lovely shade of baby pink)



And Mr Moon. He did not swim or roll but had run joyously through the claggy mud alongside the river.



The three amigos



Note the mud coloured mascara Alfie is sporting in this one!



Yep, he's a muck monster!

Wonderful photos - what a brilliant walk!

Lol. Alfie shocked us all, especially when he walked through the mud to paddle his toes in the river. I was a bit worried that someone had stolen Alfie and replaced him with a muddy alternative! They all had a great walk though. Tilly has had her bath and all I can say is.....OH MY GOD!! I've never seen bath water that colour before!!

Brilliant!! Glad they are dragging him down to their mucky level

Thanks Vicki It was a good one! xx

I think he shocked himself!! It was brilliant and my 2 have only just woken up properly! They are now playing chase in the garden

I bathed Lily last night and yep, the water was disgusting!!! Alfie was fine by the time we got home and his was just mud anyway. Not like the girls and their revolting rolling habits!

Lol! We wondered if they'd be able too but it seems they succeeded!

Tillys bath water was like an oil slick. Filthy mutts!!

HA HA HA HA HA I think terriers are great at being nasty. My little Terrier I had when I was a kid rolled in anything dead he could find!!!

Oliver has yet to encounter something dead while off leash, but he's great at getting muddy!!!

What a great walk for doggies!!! I'm glad Alfie is showing his terrier side now

aaaah too cute. my staffy boy loves getting wet and muddy too! Where abouts in West Sussex are you? I'm sort of on the surrey border.

it didn't take long for Tilly and Lily to lead Alfie into bad ways.

Lovely photos

Brill photos, looks like they had a great walk
