Gracie's day at the pool

That's right, Gracie got her day of swimming at the neighborhood pool. All summer long she has watched us leave and return wet and she has waited patiently. Today the long wait was over, Brian and the boys took her to K-9 Kerplunk and she had a splashing good time! K-9 Kerplunk is the only time of year that dogs can get in the pool while humans watch from the side. At first, Gracie circled the perimeter of the pool for a while deciding whether or not she was going to get in. She did a bit of barking at the dogs who had tennis balls in their mouths. Once confident, she got in and swam with about 150 of her closest friends. She eventually found the deeper water and just circled happily while by-standers were trying to show her the steps to get out. OUT, no way she said, I am happy swimming in circles!!! She found a tennis ball and would take it to anybody and drop it waiting for them to throw it. She would even take the ball and drop it in front another dog asking them to play. She hooked up with a male Chocolate Lab and we feel confident if left alone a relationship would have blossomed. Gracie is looking forward to next year and may even be sporting a hot pink bikini!
