Today was the annual
Doggie Dip! This year we decided to go to the pool at Washington Park because we heard that last year there were only a few dogs there. You know, because Keeley likes to think that he owns the pool and barks and growls at everydog there. So unlike how Keeley normally acts! And very embarrassing for me and his grandparents. Teagan, of course, took her cue from Keeley and acted the same annoying way. Her constant yapping is still ringing in my ears.
Once Keeley got up the nerve to jump in, he was swimming laps around the pool. He seems to really enjoy swimming.
Everyone there laughed at their doggie life jackets as usual, but I figure it's better to be safe than sorry. Plus I think they look really cute with them on!
Teagan absolutely hated being in the pool. Her grandma threw her in a few times since she wasn't going to be going in on her own. I ended up having to carry her in and then releasing her to let her swim back to shore. She was fine as long as I was holding her, but wasn't too happy when I'd let go of her.
Since it wasn't crowded, we stayed for 40 minutes. That's twice as long as we've doggie dipped for in the past. We finally decided to leave after Keeley marked on some guy's shoes and bag. Oh, how embarrassing! But dogs will be dogs and I sorta feel like this guy should have known better than to leave such an enticing target sitting on the ground with a bunch of dogs running around.
Keeley had a great time barking and swimming. I think Teagan enjoyed barking, but not so much with the swimming.

You look like you had a blast, Keeley! Too bad about the guy's shoe but we agree with your mom - he should have put them out of harm's way! Maybe Teagan will like the water better next time she goes!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
What a GREAT time you guys had!!!
You guys are too cute with your life jackets on!!!!
That's too bad about the guys stuff - he might should have brought his swim shoes and left his bag in the car.....
You should show Teagan Asta's blog she's on vacation swimming up a storm.
XXoooXXoooXxoo
Hey pals, looks like I've missed a lot of stuff in your world! Just been catching up by reading about Teagan; she's pretty cute!
Anyway, I know I don't have much time for blogging nowadays but you'll always be one of my special pals! And thank you so much for the pawsome birthday card, it really made my humans laugh! It was very kind of you to remember my barkday.
