A day in MUD

I wake up to your cold nose
digging into my neck
small whimpers
come from your tiny mouth

You have the best memory
you remember the conversation
from the night before
the only word you heard
PARK

7 am...what was I thinking
Get dressed
so cold, its raining again

Stop for coffee
must love drive-thru's

You are barking as we pull in
you see some old friends
your face is so cute
that big smile

Off your leash
you run like a crazy person
trying to get as much mud on you
as possible

Damn, I forgot the crate
the car is gonna be a mess
Oh well!!!

You are black with mud now
making water fly as you run back and forth
your friends behind you
all barking 
having so much fun

I huddle with all the other parents
the smell of coffee all around
making us smile

We laugh at you all
out there having so much fun

Wonder what it is like to be you
free and happy
no worries or cares
no drama or questions

You run to me
shivering
time to go

But you are still smiling
my day is complete
