This is Suzie-the-dog getting undirty. You can tell how she feels about the process. Love her longsuffering, woebegone expression there.
In this picture the boys are more messy, really, than dirty. This was after the “finale” of their youth group competition at the end of the school year a few years ago. They were on opposite teams. They get a little crazy with the face paint and games that night! I think there was even a food fight….
Updated: This party kept coming to mind, so I decided to scan the picture in and include it, too. This was at Jason’s 6th birthday party 14 years ago. We had let him invite several guys for a birthday party at a state park which had a clear little stream they could wade in. On the invitations we advised that they wear something they could get wet and dirty in. I vividly remember Jason excitedly telling all his friends, “We get to get dirty!” Ideal fun for a 6 year old boy! All the activity is stirring up the dirt at the bottom and making the stream look all muddy. By the way, yes, that’s me there, very pregnant with Jesse. Can you believe he wasn’t born for another two months after this picture?

Looks like the kids had some fun! And the dog, well, not so much!

Aww poor doggy. But I’m sure she smelled a whole lot better!

I think Suzie is embarrassed to have her photo taken while getting undirty. lol
The boys are cute. Good to see they have good clean, dirty fun.

Suzy has that pitiful look, but seems to endure the bath. Bet the boys were so excited to get dirty and clean all at the same time. Great photos and have a good weekend.

The dog’s expression on his face is priceless, lol !
What a great idea to invite for a “dirty” birthday party. They surely had a lot of fun !
September 1, 2007 at 5:22 am
I love the dog picture….it is always amazing how they can just stand there and look so pathetic….then, as soon as you finish, they roll around, trying to get the “scent” back again!! The pictures of the boys were great too! Isn’t it fun looking back and smiling on times like this?
September 1, 2007 at 5:37 am
Great picture set. That is one baleful look on your dog! Happy weekend
September 1, 2007 at 5:38 am
Those are all great photos for “dirty.” Suzie is a cute woofie, but doesn’t look too happy with her bath.

Oh poor, poor Suzie-the-dog! How could you be so heartless to make her undirty? What’s a little dirt between friends
What an expression on her face!
I could never keep our dog in one place for a wash, and I would end up just as wet.
September 1, 2007 at 8:17 am
Great choices! I think my favorite is the expression on the dog’s face!
September 1, 2007 at 10:02 am
All Great choices…my animals are never crazy about a bath either.
September 1, 2007 at 10:22 am
Those are all great photographs for dirty. I love the kids having a blast in the last photograph but I also like the others too.
September 1, 2007 at 11:12 am
Well, your dog knows that you will blackmail it using that photos and you proved it right! lol The kids in the muddy stream is perfect — for them and this entry! Come see mine.
September 1, 2007 at 11:12 am
Love all of your photos. Isn’t it great how animals can give you a ‘look’ with the limited means of expression that they have!
September 1, 2007 at 11:12 am
Great photos for the theme!

Poor puppy. My dogs hate bath time too – which makes me not want to do it.
Definitely a great idea for a boys party. Boys + Dirt = FUN
September 1, 2007 at 12:10 pm
Awesome pics… the poor expression on the doggie… priceless!
September 1, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Great photos. Poor suzie looks like she needed a hug… suds and all!
September 1, 2007 at 1:15 pm
Great post. I like the first two!
September 1, 2007 at 2:15 pm
Awwww… look at Suzie! She reminded me of my pet doggies and kitties when I had them last time. Aha… those woebegone expression. Makes me want to laugh and hug them at the same time. I had more trouble with the cats though but the dogs sort of ‘resigned’ to their fate. LOL.
Your boys look cute with all the facial drawings. LOLOL.
September 1, 2007 at 4:22 pm
The gog is giving a mighty pitiful look there and your boys sure do know how to have fun getting dirty.
September 1, 2007 at 4:49 pm
Awwww, Suzie is so darn cute, even when wet!
September 1, 2007 at 5:33 pm

Great photos! Suzie’s expression reminds me of my dog, Bruno who gives me a similar looks whenever I give him a bath.
I’m sure the boys enjoyed their group competition.
Oh, playing in the stream looks really fun.
September 2, 2007 at 1:19 am

Hi Barbara! Those are great dirty pics
What a great place to have a birthday party, what little boy wouldn’t want to get into the mud. Poor suzi, but she looks pretty well behaved. I should be so lucky to get Nermal to be so well behaved for a bath. Great to see you again, happy hunting and have a great week!
