The look says "you realize this is all a waste of time and good mud, don't you. I'm gonna go straight out and roll again" Lucy has a wonderful temperament so docile, I just want to hug her. 🐕🐕🐕🐶🐶🐶🐶
I love the way many a dog can happily sit in a mud puddle and roll over with a smile on its face; that same dog is horrified and dejected when presented with a shower of warm water and soap.
It's the soap. The dreaded white stuff. Not the usual perfume a dog chooses as smell of the month. She is a very well behave dog. Wait till she gets home.
I bet 100 years from now on Lucy's owner's farmland someone's going to dig up tons of lost car keys and maybe even a wallet or two. She's a sweetheart :)
Her thieving ways reminded me of our late german shepherd. When he was a puppy, it was like 15 years ago, he stole my mom's glove and she couldn't catch him! My dad took pictures. It's still hilarious to look at them every once in a while. In one there's the puppy running around a bush my mom after him, and in another he's laying down eating the glove after mom gave up 😂
Strong personality but well behaved, love it. She's got such a resigned 'why must you remove my beautiful mud' vibe. Looks so huggable when she's done!! Thanks for sharing!
@@geneva5619 It’s only a 10 minute video, out of a SEVERAL HOURS long groom. Given how Vanessa has always been with the dogs for the majority of the grooms we see, I am certain Miss Lucy got lots of love and praise (some of which can be heard in the video).
Our first beagle was really bad about burying her treats instead of eating them. No idea why. She never missed a meal in her life because she was with us from birth. But she would bury every treat and bone you gave her. She would then forget where she buried them (or they would obviously disintegrate because they were regular dog biscuit treats). A few years later, we adopted a lab mix who proceeded to dig up our yard finding all of Elmo's bones. We couldn't figure out why this dog was digging all these random holes then we saw her come up with a possibly 5yr old bone (because we stopped buying Elmo bones because she would just bury and forget them ) and realized she was finding Elmo's hidden bones. The adopted lab also taught the older pure lab (Star) and Elmo the beagle how to open yard gates to get loose..... Thanks for that Sophie.... We could never simply lock our old ladies up ever again. We had get clips and wires to keep the gates shut. Sigh... Street dog smarts.
We adopted a beagle mix dog. He was 1-1/2. Any treats we gave him he would hide in the house - sometimes in the couch, sometimes in a bed. We live in the country and don’t have a fenced in yard, so we always kept him tied up when he was outside alone. Several times the neighbor’s dog came over with her toys and Sammy would grab them, bury them and then growl at the other when she tried to retrieve them. At first we couldn’t figure out what was happening, then we dug in the area the other dog was trying to get to and voila, there was the toy!
One of my favorite pictures of my dog isn't a picture of her...one frosty morning, Ivy was laying on the carpet covered porch. when she got up, there was a perfect outline of her melted off the carpet!
I am reminded of a dog I had growing up, who periodically loved to go to the cow pasture across the creek behind our house and roll in cow pats. You could tell when she had done so because she came up the hill to the house with the self-satisfied walk of someone who has spent the day at the spa and has a new outfit on. She always submitted to the inevitable bath with an air of martyrdom.... humans just don't understand how good dung smells on a dog......
Alexandra, I know that look! With my dog it is wet seaweed. Probably smells a lot like dung now that I think about it. But she looks like she feels stunning after rolling in it. Gross!
Could've been worse. My schnautzer had his big day when he found a foul fish in the mid of a mountain meadow (don't ask how it might have come there ... I honestly don't know) in the Black Forest, where we lived, and rolled on it with ardour.
Lucy is a stunner 🤩 She appears to have a cruciate ligament replacement scar on her rear right leg. It may partly explain her reluctance to stand still. Maybe her owners can get it checked. My late Rottie had both rear cruciates replaced and didn't like standing in one position for bathing afterwards even though it was very successful surgeries. Just a thought.
As a person whose kneecaps will not stay in place, I can testify that standing in one place was never something that I could tolerate. Those knee ligament and tendon problems are just weird. I could walk forever when young, but could not stand in one place.
I've thought of a perfect job for Lucy! Either give her a bunch of seed balls and she can plant plants in a barren forest area OR, get a bunch of big bones and Dino toys for her to bury In a big sandbox for kids to dig up!
Growing up my parents had a shepherd X border collie, she looked like a shep, just the size of the Collie. The bestest girl, would dob us kids in to the parents if we were up to no good, or stuck somewhere! She loved to dig, had a hole in a few places around the yard and would sleep in them to stay cool. She hated the rain and would try to pee FROM the patio onto the grass in bad weather 😂 This girl reminded me of our beautiful Trixie. So calm and well behaved but also with a fun, quirky personality ❤️
I love it because during the whole process her face looks like We’ll if you really have too. She’s so well behaved but just tolerating it. Not her favorite activity grooming. Stealing on the other hand sounds like so much fun. 😂😂❤️❤️
Camera man had a hard job hugging Lucy in this one 😂what a wonder dog living her best life. Your hard work will last all of moments when she gets home.
Hearing Lucy's steal and bury story reminded me of my poor momma. Our shepard mix took my mom's upper denture and we found this out about 20 years after the fact when removing a Pine tree in the front yard. We were a family of 8 and my poor mom couldn't afford a new denture for quite awhile. Tipper got away without suspicion, naughty boi!!!❤
lol, gotta love our thieves :D My GSD steals socks (right off your feet and you dont even know he's grabbing them until too late), likes to steal and hide shoes from you also.
Her sad face while watching her mud rinse down the drain kinda has the same energy as Oogie Boogie crying “my bugs! My bugs!” from Nightmare before Christmas 😂 absolutely adorable
Tail firmly tucked, not Lucy's idea of a good time, but a good girl regardless. I had a furry friend once who would literally steal money, take wallet right out of someone's purse or hand. She never damaged a bill, but took her ill gotten gains directly to the fridge to buy a treat (usually a small chunk of cheese).
I go from rug cleaning to dog cleaning lol! Gotta love RU-vid! I've been watching your channel for longer! I don't even own a dog (or cat), but I love watching your videos, the dogs (and sometimes cats) you groom are gorgeous!
I couldn’t see the “brown water, but I definitely sae Lucy’s ligth brown color coming out on her coat in the middle of her scrubing 😂 😮 . Oh my❤ she is loved❤😂 😊
I was like Lucy as a kid. Mud was wonderful thing:) Such a sweet, lovable gal. Man....I wish she were mine. We'd have tons of fun on rainy days playing in the mud!
Lucy looks so sad during the bath! It's the same exact forlorn look and posture my dog has in the car when we're driving back home after taking him swimming.
I just love your channel. Your care for these beautiful beasts is so strong and caring. I am such a wimp by comparison. Have put off having my cat's claws trimmed cuz she hates it so much, and now she's sticking to the rug. So embarrassing.
Wow, Lucy's beautiful! And what a good girl. I love a big, pointy-eared dog ... Akita, Malamute (actually, I had a cross of those - gorgeous!), German Shedders, and Norwegian Elkhound if you like them a little smaller.
Stuck to the wall means it's not floating, I'd rewet the walls to help it stick. A squeegee grabs it easy then. Just remember, everything that comes off those dogs has to be removed from the shop eventually. Clean up is a science unto itself!
We had a border collie/ Australian shepherd mix female. She lived for mud! She was black and white and after being out-she was a brown dog and smiling the whole time
