Cute Puppy + Water = ?

This is the same cute puppy as the other photo (this one was taken within a few days of that other photo too) ... we went and watered the trees, that our Landcare group had planted, next to a pond ... and, of course, Diesel had to go for a swim ...



yes - that is grass he is standing on - you can see why the trees needed some water!
(it was hot, it was dry, it was windy, and this photo was taken 2 days before the bushfires came in to Canberra in January 2003)


Here is another photo, same place, a couple of weeks later ... same dog, after doing the same thing, but this time he found more mud ...




and ... a few days later, same place, same thing again -
(except this time we were not watering trees - it was a stinking hot day and the kids wanted to go there for a swim!)




and ... if you can't find mud - then some dust will do!
(the joys of living in a new estate with all the building sites/piles of dirt/etc nearby - and yes - if you look closely among that dust, you can also make out the shape of one very grotty child who was definitely going straight in the bath/shower when she got home!)



oops ... where did the evening go?!

... I will find some more photos to put in here later (ones when he is older, and covered in even more mud/etc ;-)

goodnight
