This is what Coco looks like when she goes out in the rain and the mud and the muck.

Her face is the only white spot left. Sometimes people ask me how we keep her clean. I did give her a bath once. She was still a puppy and she still fit in the laundry sink.
The first time she got really muddy, mucky, dirty when she was too big to fit in the laundry sink, I thought, that’s it, she’s going to be a filthy dog from now on. You can’t have a white dog on a farm with a creek and a river and lotsa mud and expect anything else.
Then we found out she was self-cleaning.
She gets dirty, then she goes to sleep, and while she’s sleeping, the dirt just falls off. I’m not sure where it goes, but it goes.
That picture above? The next morning, she looked like this.

See?

It’s a miracle! Alert the media! I have a magic dog!

Spring! I love spring! Except for the part where it rains all the time and the driveway is so muddy, I can’t drive up it without sliding all over the place. And so I have to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk up and down. Great exercise……. Yeah.

My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
