Dog Fish
I went for a walk this morning with my dad and Kaiya, our wascally golden lab/retriever.
We were walking at Marshall Fields along Vernon Creek. Kaiya loves jumping into the creek to take a quick dip, but the water is fairly high now and moving pretty fast so she knows to stay right close to the bank.
So today is no different, Kaiya jumps in and has a little swim and then goes back to running around. Minutes later she's back in the water. And so on until we reach the end of the trail and start to head back.
She rushed down to the bank to jump in and to her delight discovers a rather large patch of mud. Being full of delicious smells and muckity muck she had to roll around in it and get herself completely covered. And that was okay.
Instead of jumping into the water to wash off however she runs back up to the trail and shakes, getting mud all over us. And that was okay.
Little did we know that down the trail on the bank of the creek laid a very large rotting fish.
And of course Kaiya went straight to it and rolled around on it for a good 15 minutes and we're yelling at her all the while to come back up. She knew we couldn't get to her however so she didn't listen. When she finally did come back up she STANK to high heaven and she was very pleased with herself and refused all attempts to get her back into the water. And that wasn't okay.
So after many long scrubs and cleanings when we got home she still smells like fish and is still very much pleased with herself.
