After what seemed like forty days and forty nights of rain, there was finally a clear spot in the forecast and we headed to 1000 Acres to meet up with another blog friend. My Life with Dogs PDX brought her dog Sherman to hike with Mr. N. He is always thrilled to go running about with new dog pals.
Sherman was a little shy at first but he warmed up to Mr. N and the two of them were playing chase in the meadow after a while. We took more of the wooded trails than usual to avoid the large groups of dogs congregating on the busier trails.
Then we went down to the river and far from getting cleaner, the dogs just got dirtier. The dogs found a particular spot in the mud that must have smelled entrancing because they both took turns rolling in it. Mr. N in particular looked like Pig-Pen afterwards. More dirt than dog.
Mr. N went home to a well-deserved bath. He says hanging out with hounds is great because they find the stinkiest smells!

We hounds always know where the best stink is located. How fun to meet up with a new friend and to get all messy!

I'm sure you know where the best spots are too, Emma!

A very valuable asset in a friend!

Oh my! Rocco would love to roll in dirt with you both! Looks like loads of fun!
March 4, 2016 10:32 pm
And Rocco has even more hair than Mr. N!

We had such a great time! Thanks for meeting us and Sherm and N did an outstanding job… Sherm has a new buddy!

I'm sure they're plotting their next escapade!

Looks like so much fun! My family used to have bassets, dey are so sweet.
March 4, 2016 6:43 pm
Look like a lot of fun–minus the cleaning up that came afterwards, I'm sure!
March 4, 2016 8:32 pm
Oooh – that mud looked pretty inviting to the two of you huh?
March 4, 2016 10:33 pm
They couldn't pass it up!
March 4, 2016 8:50 pm
that looks like so much fun, Layla loves rolling in the smelly stuff, I call it her smellchanel BOL

Yay, we hope Mr. N has a new friend since Sage will be moving away. Oh boy, the mud…so much fun for dogs, so little for humans! We're coming into mud season here soon anyway, so we might as well just grin and bear it. LOL
Oh, I don't think we know Sherman's blog, we'll have to go check it out.

OMD that looks like Mr N had so much fun. Love more mud than dog LOL It's great that he liked hanging out with a new pal. Kilo might be OK walking with a pal on neutral territory like that, especially if there were good smells and treats.

Looks like you and your new friend had a great time.

Love and licks,

Hounds make the best kind of friends! ☺

Haha, Mr. N sure looked like he needed a bath alright 😉
March 6, 2016 5:59 am
I'm glad Mr. N had fun on his hike with his new friend!
March 6, 2016 1:14 pm
They look they are having SO MUCH FUN in that last picture!
March 6, 2016 4:09 pm
Ha! If there is mud to be found, they will ALWAYS find it! My dogs could find a mud pit in the desert 😉
March 6, 2016 8:29 pm
We wanted to see a photo of muddy Mr. N. That looks like a lot of fun.
March 6, 2016 9:51 pm
What a nice activity. My dogs love meeting other dogs and playing
March 6, 2016 10:12 pm
Looks like they had a lot of fun together! It is great that Mr N likes to meet other dogs!
March 6, 2016 10:40 pm
Mr N it looks like so much fun. I wonder on the list of your favorite things… where do trees and mud rank? I bet there high on your list BOL
March 7, 2016 12:51 am
Henry and Mr. N. would have such great adventures!
March 7, 2016 1:47 am
So much fun meeting new friends! 🙂 I love me some mud, it keeps my fur fluffy, at least that's what I tell myself! 🙂
March 7, 2016 3:02 pm
Cute! Looks like Mr. N had fun! 🙂
March 7, 2016 11:44 pm
These two are so cute playing together! I'm glad that you got a chance to hang out together. I guess no dog play date is complete until someone deserves a bath. LOL
