Pure joy: City pool opens to dogs-only before the season ends

[arcane1]

Every year, Lakeview Park in Nampa, Idaho, holds a "Pooch Pool Party" day where all dogs are invited to enjoy the public water park before it closes. This dogs-only event allows the pups to run around and play in the water while their humans watch.

1. My Lab would love that.

2. My town does that, too.

Not being a dog person (allergies) or a swimmer, I have no idea, but the parking lot is always packed on that day.

6. Indy and burbs do that too ...

.... and one dingy person asked if "humans can swim with the dogs" ... umm, a not-recently-cleaned pool full of hounds? Eewww?

7. Our Chocolate Lab and mutt would go crazy there.

It would be nice if they had a shallow end for the smaller dogs. Granted, my sister's prissy Chihuahua and my sister-in-law's Yorkie don't even like getting their feet wet, but our little Schipperke loves the water. We can't even keep her from sitting in the doggie water bowl outside.

8. My dog is the same way around water.

If there is water you can bet she'll get in it. She doesn't exactly like to swim, rather she just lays in it. Or, she wants me to hold her and swirl her around in the water, haha. She absolutely adores bath time.

9. Dogs rule.
