No good deed goes unpunished

I just finished wiping down my newly-washed dog, who got out as I was putting out some birdseed for the first time this winter.  She took the opportunity to roll her fresh new coat around in the neighbor's mulch. Luckily, she's not got the fur for this weather and came back on her own. That, and I think she knows that, since we got Bitty, we no longer have the proclivity to chase her for hours.
