Dirty Rascals

Wicket is getting really good at coming when he is called. 

It's been a long process for him to learn such a trick.. 

but he can do it well now. 

Charlie has always been good at coming. 

Even when I call Wicket, 

or Shirley.. or anything else. 

But, there are times when the doggies won't come at all. 

I'll be standing on the porch calling, "Charlieeee!! Wiiiicket!" and no one will come. So, I go outside barefoot and walk through a bit of mud to see what they are up to.

Most often their faces look like this.

Then I say, "Get in the house you filthy creatures!"

I call them my stinkies, my filthies, my monsters and my babies. 

Then I clean their noses.
