Labor Day has passed and it seems deserted here at the beach. We celbrated Labor Day by taking Linc to the annual dog swim at the pool. The last of the season kids swim ended at 3pm and at 3:30 they opened the door to the dogs. There were only about 12 dogs last year but about 30 this year. We still had room to play ball in the water and after hesitating at first, Lincoln made a remarkable rediscovery...WATER IS FUN!!! While we were drying off to go home he even found his hidden ball in my bag and dropped it in himself for one more dive into the pool. The pictures show his "get ready", "get set" and "GO" poses. I came home with a few scratches and bruises where he got me as I helped him climb out several times but we all had to laugh over the whole outing. There were Yorkies, dauschaunds, Rotweilers, Pit Bulls, Labs, Mutts, a tall Labradoodle who walked on her hind feet instead of swimming, Border Collies, Dalmations and even one Portuguese Water Dog named Mr. Lincoln. It's just the dog days of summer!
