Splish splash, not taking a bath

His gray ears perked at a loud voice calling his name, making him jump and spin in the chest deep puddle to spot his giant grandfather throwing himself into the mud puddle as well. A wide grin split his features and he giggled like crazy as the massive wolf splashed into the puddle and sent water and mud flying everywhere, including a tidal wave that covered him in even more mud. Any of his golden fur was now turned a nice shade of mud brown. "Grandpa!" he squealed and immediately started to climb Sirius mountain, hooking his feline claws into his grandfather's thick coat to hoist himself up all the way onto his back, his white tipped tail wagging excitedly the whole way. He climbed all the way up to his grandpa's back and then made his way up to the top of Sirius' neck, chewing on his big ear playfully. "Take me on a ride, grandpa!" he insisted, still holding on tight to the thick fur on the back of his neck while peeking over the top of his head as if Sirius was his mighty steed.
