"Cool" Adventure

Mom loaded up the Runner with all the essentials and we were off on a road trip. Not like the Great Adventure road trip, this one was only an hour down the road. Destination Landa Park's Doggie Dip Day at the natural spring-fed, COOL 72 degree pool. Plus I was going to meet Rocky in the fur for the first time.

Apparently the planning had been going on for two years. Year one was postponed by my 2nd bionic knee surgery. Year two the natural fed pool spring pool was flooded out. But today was the day! Meet my friend Rocky.

Rocky and I heard our Mom's talking, about all the big dogs running around like behemoths. There must have been 75 big dogs including about 5 or so little dogs, including me being the only pug. Visiting pug meet ups or the doggie park, I run off leash, not on this adventure.

As soon as Rocky's leash came off, poof, he was gone. I thought he would stay close to me so we could play in the water, but as you can see, I was watching him run away to play with the Big dogs.

Rocky had a great time running and running. If I was off leash, I would totally out run him. Hehee.

Posing on the blue lily pad, I realized, no one wanted to play with me. What's up with that... ?

Even though they can't be seen in the picture, I did find a school of small fish that would swim with me. My friends, did you notice what's missing in this picture?! Yep, that's right.. my life jacket! Take that big dogs, I didn't see you swimming like me, a real BIG Dog. You are little wimps for staying in the shallow, kiddie pool end. Except for Rocky, he's NOT a wimp. He would have gone swimming with me if he wasn't distracted by trying to socialize a couple of female dogs. Geez, boys! Hehee, snort.

Mom was super proud of me. So this adventure was fun after all. Especially after we got home and got extra treats for being such a good swimmer.
