The garden hose - in frequent use these days.

After a long winter and walking dogs that always were nice and clean when we came back home from our walks - the garden hose is now out, ready to hose off dirty dogs on a moment`s notice.
Most days I can`t deny Pinot and Maggio a good roll in puddles and mud - they get hot and want to cool off in whatever water they find. So be it. That`s a dog. Then we come home and hose off in clean water and quickly try to close the bedroom door so they don`t go have their after-run-nap in our bed!

AAWH. The pleasures of spring. Dirt. Muck. Dogs.
