Pet POOL-ooza

Me and Matt alternated walking Abe and shooting the dogs in the pool event this past weekend at Cico Park. Dogs and their owners are invited to swim in the pool and donate $2 that goes towards the local animal shelter. They allow the dogs in because it's the last day the pool is open for the season before they drain it— so who cares if it gets a little hairy.
The shallow end had really small dogs and really big dogs— there were two gigantic great danes who were reluctant to get in the water. Then the larger swimming and laps pool was retriever paradise. There were at least 20 dogs in the pool fetching tennis balls and frisbees. It was wonderful but it made me miss my own two pooches.
