Dirt Balls

Rudy started early today. Usually, he’ll wait until lunch to begin looking for trouble, but today we were out the door and on our way to the park by 10am. 

I let him climb all over the dirt-caked roots of fallen trees. They actually look like gigantic balls of dirt and dirt makes Rudy happy. He likes to roll in it, dig in it, pee in it, and simply lie in it. He did all of those things today and came home happy, filthy, and exhausted.

He was so exhausted that he slept the rest of the day. He didn’t bug me while I was working and he didn’t even bother to beg for dinner. He slept so much that I thought he was sick and dying. He wasn’t. He’s all charged up and ready to go back again today.
