Dogs will be dogs...

I'm questioning my decision to get an inside dog, right about now.  We let Roxie out to go to the bathroom-we live in the country, so we don't put her on a leash.  When she came back to the door, here's what I found.  To answer your question, no, she doesn't have a black beard.  That's dirt, and a lot of it.  I'm not sure what she was looking for, but I hope she found it and I hope it was worth it, because she got in big trouble for this one. 

 I'm sure the groomer is going to talk about us after this one, although probably not as much as the time we brought her in with bubble gum in her fur.  For whatever reason, when the girls were begging for a puppy, I thought a small girl dog would somehow be "neater" than a big boy one.  However, after one year with this little gem, I have learned that's not necessarily the case.   We all still love her though!!
