In the mud house

When we got home this afternoon, Sahraa had a big chunk of mud on her nose and her feet were filthy. Turned out she had been excavating my rose bed. Nothing can kill that old rosebush, but I’m not so sure about the other flowers she managed to dig up. Needless to say, she knew she was in trouble, but the mud looked so comical I had to take a picture.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

She has that pose that says, "Mercy, mercy... I plead insanity."

In The Netherlands we say "Repentance comes after sin". I like the dog's look, Helen! ~V

This made me laugh out loud! I know that expression, Sasha gets the same one when caught out doing something she knows she shouldn't :-) Love that give away chunk of mud on her nose!! V

Blandine Mangin		10-Mar-2019 16:29

Jeff Real		10-Mar-2019 14:46
She knows she is in trouble! This is a great shot, Helen. V

Ha, all set to give you her belly! That chunk of mud on her nose is too funny. At least she didn't roll in the dirt. V

Kevin Warren		10-Mar-2019 13:33
A comical look of resignation here. "Yep, I did that" Perhaps Sahraa is missing the snow?

Pierre		10-Mar-2019 12:54
Une superbe photo de Sahraa après une petite incursion dans la platebande de fleurs! V

She looks like she's been caught, but also looks happy with herself

Patrick Goossens		10-Mar-2019 10:05

Definitely looks like she was enjoying herself and she appears so content.

Tom Munson		10-Mar-2019 01:51
Flower beds are so much fun. Nice shot.

Gill Kopy		10-Mar-2019 01:46
She looks so guilty :)

Isabel Cutler		10-Mar-2019 01:15
I'm glad it was only mud. I though it was something a little less pleasant. Think of it this way: she was aerating the soil.

LynnH		10-Mar-2019 00:39
Knowing how she feels about the camera, this shot was punishment enough. She does look comical! :) V

Jim Coffman		09-Mar-2019 23:53
