( Aswe’ve base before , Ivy loves nothing more than the not bad out-of-doors , no matter how messy they get . )

The picture starts with an innocent magazine of Ivy walking across a rain - soaked hold rampart alongside an on - screen caption by her dad : " throwback to that clock time I had no mind how I was going to get my dog rest home . " The subtitle and grim weather presage the events that are tie down to happen next .

The bulk large event commences in the second cartridge holder , which register Ivy laying facedown in a giantmudpuddle . While her dad is incense behind the camera , the Berner seems to be having the time of her biography — pop her head up with a big grin and wholly mud - drenched gag . She then decides it would be fun to get up and slush around , reel in circles as she covers her integral lower trunk with mud . The clip features another dad - written caption that says : " Me contemplating my life selection " as Ivy continues giving herself a full - fledge clay bath .

After her spin cycle is complete , Ivy decides that her face just isn’tquitedirty enough , proceeding to plunge it in the mud a pair more times for practiced measure before shake off ( which does n’t do much by this point ) .

Once Ivy deem her bath sufficient , she run out of the pool towards her dad — totally soak in clay . As if it could n’t get any worse , Ivy ’s dad makes a devastating on - screen announcement : " I only bring one towel . " ( Clearly it ’s not plenteous for the very large , very quaggy pup . )

Ivy ’s dad tells her to reckon at him , and that ’s when we get the full picture of Ivy ’s quaggy consequence . Her whole undercarriage is cover , but her mitt and face are especially muddied — with the once ashen fur now brownish .

The last caption on the video utterly tote up up how all dog parents palpate when their pup decides to bathe in clay : no words necessary , just a facepalm emoji .
