# How does she do that?

Kaia was totally covered in dirt, I mean just filthy... We put her in a crate and went out for about two hours, when we got back she was spotless! It's crazy how clean they are! ----

I know! One day while walking Ryu, somehow he got covered in this sticky sap or something and every little blade of grass stuck to him. I brought him home, got dinner ready and was going to give him a bath later that night. By the time dinner was done, he was silky smooth again! crazy!

Ewwww. Does she have dirt all over her tongue??? Maybe the dirt was just light, dusty dirt and she gave herself a bunch of good shakes.

Well, I've told the story of Tojo getting covered head to toe in sticky, black mud and being spotless half an hour later. Plus, there's Rakka's romp in raw sewage where she was clean and odourless after grooming herself. They're magical, I tell you.

Goes back to my vets theory...They are magic

## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-05-06T00:35:25.000Z
I agree, it MUST be magic! :c)

Wow, that is quite impressive! Kudos to Kaia!

## Leonberger (admin) · 2008-05-06T07:48:27.000Z
It's a kind of magic! Definitely!

I totally know what you mean! Saphira fell in the water garden one day and was all muddy and wet. She hid under the coffee table for a while and when she came out she was clean and dry. Amazing!

How dirty is the bottom of the crate?

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-05-06T11:34:43.000Z
Tsuki is a cream shiba, so its quite noticeable if she is dirty, but she can play and play at the dog park with dirt and dust from gravel, and on the ride home, she must really clean herself, when we get home, she looks fine BUT if we run water over her - it all comes running off of her again.. sneaky little thing.

Brandon - They were in Ahi's crate because Ahi went with so it is hard to say... since Ahi had made her crate dirty ahead of time.
