Eek!! That bath looks like melted chocolate! What your daughter needs is an outside tap for slungeing Jinley down before she comes in. I keep a short hose with a spray attachment on mine for muddy days, and one of those fibre mitts is a boon too.

Jinley is  :luv: :luv: despite the mud...

We hose Bingley down most days! He is a mud lover too.
In fact, one of the reasons we liked our new house was having a downstairs bathroom meant we could bath him easily after walks  :005: he's had 3 hosings in one day before

Deffo competing with Smudge as the 'main mudmagnet' me thinks..........and winning  :lol:

Not sure how I would cope with all that mud - luckily his lordship does not get so mucky these days - he even walks round muddy puddles

Oh Jinely! You always look so pretty but I guess you're a real mud monster at heart! :005:

Wow 3 baths in one day! I've only ever given my lot 1 in a day but if they get that muddy again they get a real good rub dry with a towel, banished to the kitchen for a while (otherwise the whole house would be a mud bath!) and then a good brush. Doesn't get rid of some of the NASTY stuff Chip rolls in though!

I would be very surprised if she actually came out clean if she is sitting in that water. :005:  You might be better showering her.  I always shower Alfie, he hates baths, I can't get him to stand still in a bath.  Gave up that job when he was a puppy, I put him in the shower cubicle, then I strip down my bottom half to my knickers and get in and fortunately we have not got a fixed head shower.  It's great because he can't get out.  I then get out first, get redressed while he sits looking forlornly through the glass at me and then get him out.  Takes a few minutes.

My 4 all like going in the river so I sometimes have the wet hounds twice a day. 
When I have to shower them after the muddy fields,  I try and choose an afternoon walk that will be mud free. I do take them by car to different locations to make life easier for me and hopefully more interesting for them.

Sounds like me (getting half undressed!) - except we have a shower attachment over the bath, so I get in to the empty bath with the mucky puppy. I don't ever fill the bath, just use the nice shower nozzle with warm water to rinse off the endless stream of mud that comes from Henry's paws. Shampoo doesn't get used much. He seems to be getting used to it. he even put his front paws up on the side of the bath today while I was showering, so maybe he actually likes it (hubby sometimes feeds him kibble, which may be the reason!).

Unfortunately we dont yet have the luxury of shower fitments etc!  My daughter lives in a very old (1600) 2 up 2 down, which they have just put a planning application in to double the size of it.  One thing that I will make sure is included after this weeks house sitting experience is a shower tray in the boot room with a shower head located a couple of feet off the floor!  At the moment you have to stand in about 6" of mud to get to the outside tap although yesterday she did go into the horse trough before coming into the house - almost like a pre-wash  :005: :005:

Regarding bathing muddy dogs, if its any help, (I have Clumbers so there is twice the mud), when mine come back from a walk in that state,  they get a good rub over with towels, and stay in the warm kitchen with lots of towels on the floor, when they are dry, a brush over and they are sparkly white again, the towels go in the machine. and the sofa is fair game again! i found bathing every time soaked their coats right through and they took hours to dry.  they only get a bath before a show, and then its a full on evening of preening and pampering. I use Coatex Aloe and Oatmeal Shampoo, no nasties in it and leaves a super silky coat. (Love yr photo.)
