Dog Day at the Pool

At the end of the season the parks dept opens the pool to dogs. It's one of the most entertaining events of the year. The jack russell in the first two pics is mine. The others are just a collection of your typical retrievers and water dogs.

The last one is like "Oh mennnn this iz so coolzz!! " nice set

I love that last one! He is adorable!

Love buddy dogs, makes me smile

I especially like the third one down from the top: synchronized swimming! I've got a wonderful aussiedoodle who likes to splash in water up to his chest but does not like swimming. I have no idea why, as he can swim perfectly well if he has to.

Brilliant shots. Wish the English weren't such miserable so and so's they won't let us do anything like this!

Not many outdoor pools in England though... it's too bloody cold! That pool in Reno is only open for the summer... they let dogs in on the last day before it's closed for the season.

Nice pics! I wish I had taken my dogs... a pool would have been an interesting experience for them since they usually swim in lakes.

Looks like a great day

Me too, it is a nice capture.

i could do dog photography all day

Great Pics, we need to hit one of these down here in Dallas. How do you guys like the Reno Carson City area? We are thinking of moving to the Carson City area.

great shots and what a brilliant idea!!! I wonder if our council would ever consider doing that.

Thanks for all the comments. I had great fun shooting these - lots of happy dogs. Last year was our first time to go, and we made sure we had it on the calendar this year. The ASPCA uses the event as a fundraiser. They don't charge admission, but they ask for donations. They also make everyone sign a liability release before entering. There's always the possibility of a dog bite, but I think they're more worried about someone getting knocked down. The dogs do not obey the no running rule.

all these pics made me smile. thanks for sharing them, KD.

last one is a winner
