Muddy feet - what muddy feet? 02/20/14

Hi pals - Puffy here:

The high winds from yesterday have gone away and it is a nice sunny day in New Mexico.  Freeloading birds are out at the bird feeders along with one chipmunk.  We did have five chipmunks coming around right before winter began but for the last couple of days there has only been one - I wonder what happened to the rest.  Of course we do live in a rural area where there are wild animals that wonder about so maybe they became someone's dinner.

And speaking of dinner, Coco, momma and I went walking down our driveway and came across some poop that had lots of fun in it.  Coco and I sniffed and sniffed it to see exactly what it was.  Coco offered to pick it up and take it back into the house but momma told her "NO - you're not putting that crap in your mouth"!  Do I need to tell you that Coco loves to raid the kitty potty box for kitty crunchies so finding some new poop to chew on would have made her day?  Any ways, she didn't get to sample any of it - BOL,

With the sun shining, we have various areas where the small dusting of snow have begun to melt and that means mud puddles.  I haven't figured out why Coco hardly ever gets her feetsies muddy even though she sometimes walks in the same areas where I do.  It's not like she weighs less than me - "HEY! KNOCK IT OFF - NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT" yells Coco.

                 Anyhow, I often times manage to come back to the house with muddy feetsies.

Yup, I walked right in the mud puddle and now I have to have my feetsies washed (that's my momma holding me).  I was trying to convince momma that my feetsies weren't muddy but that they were "just wet" but she wouldn't listen and I did end up having my feetsies wash, again.  Momma sure is getting a lot of use of that laundry sink - BOL, BOL

    1. Nope, not booties just muddy feetsie - Aren't they pretty?! That's funny about your doggy cousin "Forgetting" to sit on the mat. I think it was just embarrassed to let you think the humans had it "Trained" - BOL

    1. You got a very good outlook on things Finley. Sometimes the feetsie wash turns into a full bath, but not all that often. I hope your ichies are doing better.

    1. Fizzy, when one lives where there is nothing but dirt that turns to mud when it gets wet, what can one expect? Hopefully the humans will get our courtyard finished this summer so this whole mud issue is resolved.

  6. Crikey Puffy ... that's disgusting. You been diggin' or something. Naturally Coco Rose wouldn't get muddy feet she's a Sheila AND a Princess. Sheila's don't get muddy feet ... well Zoe does but who knew she was a Sheila. She ain't no Princess, aye?? But Coco Rose IS!!!!

    1. Charlie I do not dig, my feetsie get muddy because there is mud all around the house and since I have to do my business outside, sometimes I end up walking in mud.

      You're correct - Coco Rose is a Princess but you forgot to add SPOILED - BOL
