Doggie Swim Day

This was the scene at our community pool on Saturday afternoon:

Our HOA hosted a "doggie swim day" since it was the end of the swim season for us two legged folks, they let the dogs have the last swim of the season. (They drain the pool and prepare it for winter after the dogs leave.) It was such a great idea! Even the dogs that didn't want to swim had fun running around the fenced in pool yard and playing with other canine companions. Paisley had a blast! We took her over for about 2 hours and even near the end of our time she was still running, chasing and swimming. It was the perfect day for it as well- really warm and sunny. Paisley spent a lot of time chasing her tennis ball:

As well as other dog's toys. She was quite enamoured with this football and had trouble sharing it. What can we say...the Caldwell's enjoy football!

Charlie got in the pool and played with Pais and I was the designated picture taker/ball fetcher. We weren't sure if people would be in the pool too so Charlie brought his bathing suit along but quickly changed into it. I ended up wishing I had my suit on because it was so hot standing on the pool deck!

This is our neighbor Wrangler with his "mom" Molly in the background. They live right across from us and we feel very lucky to have such great neighbors! Molly is wealth of knowledge about dogs and has given us some great tips!

Hi Mom!

A shot of Paisley after the pool. Before I took the pictures she actually had her head resting on the chair legs...I guess it was too difficult to hold it up after all the fun!

The swim day was such a great idea- Paisley likes to swim and its great exercise for her but there aren't too many places around us that we can take her to swim. We hope the HOA does it again next year!
