I went inside to shower and dress, and then I headed back out to fetch the dog I had so successfully cared for. The little punk was sitting in the middle of the mud he had been rolling in. Infuriated, I brought him inside only to discover that he was not rolling in mud. Oh no, he was rolling in POOP.
You can come to your own conclusions about what happened next. But here's a clue: it involved a shower for Buster, another shower for me, and a lot of tears/yelling. My favorite dog whisperer helped calm me down and even went home on his lunch break to re-bathe Buster.
