Trout Tales, Sept. 11
There’s only a few places in this town a fish can relax, and I was enjoying the last days of the Aquatic Center being open when WHAM — this Piebald Great Dane named Sammy splashed me. Then, he stuck his tongue out at me, as evidenced in this photo. Before I knew it, all Sammy’s firends showed up and there was more splashing than toddlers at bathtime. Toys were flying eveywhere, all kinds of breeds were chasing one another and even the humans were “in the way” of the fun at times. By the end, I’ve never seen soo many doggos so happy and yet so tired. I say throw a bone to the YMCA for hosting a Doggie Swim Day every year!
