On a bright and peaceful Mother’s Day morning, Athena, the elegant, intelligent, and slightly mischievous husky, stretched luxuriously on her throne, also known as the living room couch. Her nearly white opal eye shimmered in the sunlight, while her rich chestnut one gleamed with quiet scheming. She cast a glance toward her clumsy, food-obsessed, oversized little brother, Obito, who was sprawled on his back, legs twitching in a dream that most likely involved treats.  
Athena, ever the refined leader, decided that today, their human deserved something special. A day of pampering. A full royal treatment. After all, humans loved spas, didn’t they? And what could be better than a homemade spa experience, crafted with love by none other than the brilliant Princess Athena and her enthusiastic, if not slightly uncoordinated, assistant, Mr. Toe Beans?  
Athena’s plan was simple, a luxurious mud treatment. Obito, always ready for chaos, was on board immediately.  
With a dramatic leap (completely unnecessary, but she liked to make an entrance), Athena bounded over the coffee table and landed gracefully by the back door. Obito, attempting to copy her, launched himself forward but miscalculated, sending a decorative pillow flying and skidding across the floor like a rogue bowling ball. Unbothered, he picked himself up, wagging his tail like nothing had happened.  
Once outside, Athena faced her first obstacle the grass. She stared at it with deep suspicion, lifting a single delicate paw as if touching it would somehow cause her immediate demise. She tested it. Damp. Horrible. Absolutely unacceptable. Obito, meanwhile, flopped directly onto the grass with a happy sigh, rolling around as if it were the greatest mattress ever made.  
“Right,” Athena huffed. “I’ll supervise.”  
Operation Mud Spa commenced.  
Obito wasted no time, his enormous paws turning the garden into a full excavation site. Dirt flew through the air like confetti at a parade. Flowers, freshly planted the day before, met their untimely demise under his enthusiastic digging. Athena pranced around the edges, barking orders like a general surveying her troops.  
“Bigger hole, Obito! More mud!” she demanded.  
Obito, eager to please, dug faster. At one point, he got so excited that his oversized paws betrayed him, sending him somersaulting face-first into the very pit he had created. He popped back up seconds later, covered in mud but grinning from ear to ear.  
Athena inspected his work with a critical eye. The hole was sufficiently large, the mud perfectly sloppy. “Excellent.”
Now, all that was left was to get their human involved.  
The moment of truth arrived when their unsuspecting human stepped outside, perhaps expecting to be greeted by two well-behaved dogs giving her cuddles and kisses for Mother’s Day. Instead, she was met with what could only be described as a disaster zone.  
The flowerbed was destroyed. The grass, what little remained, was now a swamp. And standing proudly in the middle of it all were Athena and Obito, looking incredibly pleased with themselves.  
Before their human could even form a response, Obito, overcome with love and excitement, lifted one giant mud-covered paw and flung it forward.  
SPLAT!!!
A perfect, unmistakable pawprint landed directly on their human’s shirt.  
For a moment, there was silence. Athena blinked. Obito’s tail wagged so hard it nearly created a windstorm.  
Then, deciding that surely this was going well, Obito lunged forward, landing his entire very large, very muddy self into their human’s lap, delivering a series of wet, sloppy kisses for good measure.  
Athena, of course, stayed daintily at the edge, observing. She wasn't about to actually get dirty. She had merely orchestrated the masterpiece.  
Their human, now covered in mud, flowers, and malamute drool, let out a long, slow sigh.  
Athena tilted her head. “Well?” she seemed to ask. “Do you feel pampered?”  
Obito let out a happy woo and flopped onto his back in the mud, wiggling gleefully.  
And that was how Mother’s Day turned into an impromptu outdoor bath day, which Athena dramatically protested, launching herself over every possible obstacle to avoid getting wet, while Obito fully embraced his inner love bug and attempted to help by joyfully splashing in the water soaking everyone in the process.  
In the end, their human may not have intended to have a mud spa day, but with Athena’s impeccable planning and Obito’s enthusiastic execution, it was certainly a Mother’s Day to remember.
