Turning 15 . . .

April 29th, 2012

It’s not often that we have the pleasure of spending 15 years with our companions so I was thrilled to be a part of Mendy’s 15th birthday party at the pool yesterday.  Mendy’s mom, Janice, invited 6 of Mendy’s doggie friends, and of course, Daniel, Mendy’s housemate, to enjoy an hour in the pool.  All eight of the dogs had a good time, some swimming for the first time.  It is a credit to all the dog guardians that their dogs were extremely well behaved.  The atmosphere was filled with happy doggie vibes, it was a great day!  Happy 15th Birthday, Mendy, you are a lovely girl!  Thanks for inviting me to swim with you on your birthday.

Note:  I will be posting pics of the party girl and her friends as soon as I receive them!

I have come to the conclusion that I was put on this earth to swim with dogs and enhance the quality of their lives, so it is with a very heavy heart that I tell you I will no longer be working at the pool.  Thank you for bringing your dogs into my life which enhanced my life more than you will ever know.  Coni

Our Apologies . . .

April 10th, 2012

for not being able to open today.  As you know, we had the pool acid washed, the sand in the filter changed and the water replaced over the Easter holiday.  We have been working hard with our pool contractors to get the pool up and running but unfortunately the heater has not brought the water up to the proper temperature for the benefit of your dogs.  Please know we want to work and feel awful that we are unable to swim your dogs today.

CHANGE TO EASTER HOLIDAY HOURS:

March 31st, 2012

We will be closed Friday, & Saturday, open on Monday, closed Tuesday.

Dog Poop!

March 25th, 2012

Some of you think we run a dog poop pick up service.  WE DON’T!  Please pick up after your dog.  If you need a bag we have tons of them in the pool building.

AND, if your dog poops in the parking lot it is still YOUR responsibility to pick it up!

Thanks so much.
