Do you allow your dog to...

If it was warmer there is this humongous puddle just filled with mud that I was going to let my dogs play in. What are everybody else's opinions on it? Do you allow your dog to romp in icky things? Of course, we always get baths afterwards. Heehee!

If you're reading, this has been accidentally posted twice! I have no idea why... The original post that has a poll is here.

Puddles aren't that icky. Just a little water and good clean dirt.... Let the dogs dry and you can brush it all out.

If we were talking about puddles and mud just inside the pasture gate at the farm - TOTALLY DIFFERENT! :)

Over here we get the pooling on the low ground next to the driveway, where the ground is frozen or there is ice. Jacks especially runs out there and wallows in the water. And I let him.

Both guys get more filthy on our daily walks because they pick up the salt/grime from the roads. I rinse their feet off, but the rest just brushes out when they are dry.

One of my dogs Kymber is my dirty dog, for whatever reason (her submission or whatever) she always seems to be the one to get very dirty and need a bath. Just yesterday for that matter did I come home and Bailee just sort of shook off a little dried mud but not Kymber, straight to the bathtub for her. I think she likes getting a bath perhaps she is getting dirty on purpose.
