Coran bobbed his head as she agreed with his way of getting off the mud.  Now he had company in mud washing, just about everything was more enjoyable when doing it with friend or family.  When she mentioned mom being upset at the mud Coran's musings stopped, thinking it over.  "Mom wouldn't be that mad about a little mud," The words were said with confidence but even as he finished saying them Coran questioned himself.  Right? He most certainly did not want his mom mad!  Not that he was really worried about it but the concept still wasn't sitting well.

Both front paws started kicking up water.  It certainly worked faster, and it was fun.  The water was spraying on his chest and belly.  “So, whatcha doin Elba? Well before joining me.  Want any help when we are done washing off?”  Coran glanced back at one paw checking on it before kicking more water.  Coran enjoyed helping out where he could, and until he got bigger there were only so many things he could do.  The little pup was game to try at whatever might be requested though!

A belated thought struck him, “Wait, even a year old and your mom got mad at you for mud?” Somehow he imagined at a year old mom’s wouldn’t worry about those kind of details.  He glanced over at the oozing mud near the waters edge.  “It feels itchy when its dried and it drips kind of but, it doesn’t seem that bad!”
