The Doggie Dip is a fund raising event for ROMP (Residents For Off-Leash Milwaukee Parks). On the last day that the public pools are open, and after the human swim is over, they open the pools to the dogs for a couple of hours before shutting down for the season.
We had to wait in this long line to get in. But once it started moving it went really fast. 
All the dogs were very anxious to get in. Here's Keeley waiting in line with his PFD on. We had to get one for my peace of mind after what happened last year.
First off, Keeley had to run a couple of laps AROUND the pool.
Once he got the lay of the land, then he was ready to observe the goings on.
He loves meeting other dogs!
Then Keeley considered checking out the water, but decided against it.
After another CRAZY lap around the pool, his grandma made use of the handle on the back of his PFD and PUT Keeley in the water.
He wasn't too thrilled about that but quickly got used to it.
If I jumped in first then Keeley would follow me. I wasn't planning on getting wet but Keeley really liked me to be in the pool with him.
It wasn't long before he was doggie paddling all over the place. 
Everyone loved his life jacket. It was surprising that no other dogs were wearing them.
Keeley and I both had a great time! We were there for 30 minutes and the time just flew by. It was so much fun!I decided it was time to leave when I started noticing some poop in the water. Ewww, gross! If I can watch my dog the whole time, why can't other people do the same?
There's another Doggie Dip next weekend at Cool Waters in Greenfield Park. We plan on attending that one too!

Keeley,
What a great event! I wish they did something like that here!! You are looking great in your life jacket. Isn't it the best to swim in, it does all the work and all you have to do is paddle around! I hope you have as much fun at Cool Waters next weekend!!
Your pal,
Kirby
