When your Aunty says 'Don't let her jump in the mud pool'

There can be only one outcome (it's just the rule)

Amber and I went off on a walk through the forest

She bounded through the flora with the nose of a florist

The next minute she's covered from ear to tail

In the mud from the pool hidden just off the trail

And thus I returned to a dumbfounded Aunty

With a brown golden retriever, tongue wagging with glee
