A roll in the grass and dirt

This morning was the beginning to a warm Saturday, predicted temps in the 100. It's getting close to the end of summer and hopefully this is the last of the hot weekends. I usually spend my weekend mornings watering the plants and grass (and watching Food Network). So I got out there before the afternoon sun hits the plants and they turn into themselves for safety. As I'm watering the plants I hear grunting from the grass area. I look over to see Charlie enjoying a roll in the grass. I'm not sure why this feels so good to dogs, but the look of joy and happiness on his face as he rolls on his back, kicking his legs up just brings a smile to my face.
Now Charlie has the good sense to roll in the grass, where the only real danger is maybe rolling in some doggy poop that didn't get picked up, but for the most time he comes out of it clean and invigorated. Where Maggie seems to enjoy rolling in the dirt. Yes, I know I probably shouldn't have dirt in my backyard, but it's still a work in progress. A few weeks ago you might remember I had to give Maggie a "Silkwood"bath because she was more brown than black. Well this is how it happens. If I leave her out too long on her own she always ends up taking a good long roll in the dirt. Now she seems just as happy about it as Charlie, but of course comes out a whole lot dirtier. So I have to invest in doggy wipes and brush her down before letting her in the house. And then she wonders why she isn't allowed up n the couch or bed like Charlie. Silly dogs.
