On one of our many visit to the dog park (Homestead in Chapel Hill) this summer, a woman brought her daughter to meet all the dogs. There was a giant muddy area where the dog’s water buckets has been dumped too many times. Before she knew it, the woman’s daughter had plunked herself down in the mud with the dogs and gotten irretreivably dirty. Instead of dragging the girl home for a bath at once, the woman let the firl have her fun, sliding around, dumping the water bucket for more mud and generally horsing around happy as a pig in . . . well, mud! Fortunatley I had my camera and this is one of the many shot I took home.
