Doggie Swim

Lila Belle — Wed, 07 Sep 2016 02:17:47 GMT

Our neighborhood pool closed last night ans held it's annual doggie swim. We took our dog and it was so much fun!

Dogs of all sizes, from a long hair chihuahua to an Elkhound ( elegant and just plain gorgeous!) swam, retrieved and jumped from the side and diving board.

Our dog , a chocolate Lab, had a blast and made besties with a rather sassy French Bulldog.

The highlight of the evening was the long jump. The winners were a Yorkie, a Beagle and a Chessie. Our dog got distracted by a little girl eating an ice cream sandwich and swam over to her and not the toy..

@Lila Belle Hilarious! I can picture the whole thing. Too bad they didn't do this every week! I hope you took pictures!

I wish they did but I'm sure the fur would clog the filters and some people wouldn't like to swim after the dogs. But man were those some happy dogs @tends2dogs.

NIce that they do this. I bet it was beyond fun.

I have always wondered if it was safe for dogs to be exposed to the chlorine in pools, though.

We have a pond, and while the dogs we have had have never been interested in swimming, my brother's dog loved to when she would come here.

@Lila Belle, That sounds like a blast! And I bet the dogs had fun too.

ETA: And I would say you have a smart dog. I would take ice cream over a silly ole toy too!!!

Here's my pup going after his frisbee. He loves to play in the pool.

@Lila Belle That sounds like so much fun! Our other dog can't stand the pool so Rocky just has us to play with.

Hooray for the beagle! I've had four beagles and loved them all. Our first, Muffin, loved to swim. In summer we'd take her to the nearby lake where she and our kids would swim the day away.

How much doggone GOOD FUN would this be???!!!

Reminds me of the ad on tv with the neighborhood pooch who turns on the water at the kitchen sink, fills up the living room, invites his barking buds over to practice their synch swimming. Love this ad - way funny but then again not really. I do laugh anyway every time I see it!!!!
