I have a million things to do today, but I wanted to make sure Gracie had a happy day, so this morning we took both dogs to Hiltons in their truck.   If you’re new to RiverCliff Cottage, here is what is going on with Gracie.    Once home, she got out of the truck and walked all around the house.  I was so happy that she felt good, and praised her when she started rolling around in the taller grass which will be hay.

And then we got in the house.  What is that smell?   Manure?

Quickly I looked at Gracie who was headed for the living room to lay down.   She’d rolled in wet deer poop and it was clinging to all of the hair under her neck and ear area.   Yuck.

Here she is back on her bed in the living room drying from her partial bath.   She’s embarassed.
