Dad i found mud.

This furry shithead shows up at patio door after using the backyard covered in mud. Delays going out because it is raining and yet he’s a water fowl retriever supposedly yet he could melt in the rain . And yet has no issues rolling in mud.
Friday i dropped $125 on grooming. So i grabbed the shampoo and hose and wearing flip flops and boxers cleaned him off.

Sounds like the dog of a neighbor my grandma had at one time. Kim was a Samoyed, and as you know, they are white fluffballs. He also hated baths. So he would get one (not at a groomer's), and as soon as he was dried and fluffed out, would run down to the adjacent creek and roll in it, them run home with his usual happy smile. His owners, not amused, would then give him a second, and Kim would proceed to su;lk got yhe rest of the day and sometimes into the next.
