One Dirty Dog!

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of Max after his frolicking in 5 inches or so of snow, then the muddy mess it became after the melt.  However, I can tell you that he was one dirty, smelly dog.  He actually looked like his coat was a sickly yellow-brown color - yuck!  Then we discovered the greatest service in the world!  Petco has a self service dog wash where you take your dog into one of their special wash tubs and you can use their spray nozzles, doggie shampoo and conditioner and a super blow dryer that only blows tepid air.  It was fabulous!  No trying to wait for a warm(ish) day to give him a bath at home or having a bathroom trashed after a dog wash session in the house.  And the greatest thing is that the whole she-bang cost $10.  Best ten bucks I've spent in  a while.  Now Maxie is clean and bright again.  For a few minutes at least ;)!
