Dog Party!!

Near the end of August, the Boone City Pool had their annual Dog Pool Party. I can’t remember if it is a fundraiser for the Boone Area Humane Society or the Canine Corral, but it is a fundraiser for somebody.

I like to take Naima to this event even though she hates it. Naima doesn’t swim. Period.

She will walk around the pool where she can touch the bottom, but she won’t go in any pool where she has to swim.

Naima will stomp around the wading pool and after a few minutes, she is ready to go. Last year, she did just leave on her own. She left the pool and walked right out the exit. She’d had enough.

Here are a few pictures from the dog pool party:

This was by far the busiest dog pool party I can remember. There was dogs everywhere. I don’t know that I’ll make Naima go again next year. I think she has built all the character that she is ever going to build.

  1. You know she does this because she love you. But only for so long to make you feel her love. We have a “granddog” who as a lab should like water but he doesn’t. But he does like to hunt pheasants.

  2. She actually loves being in water, but only if her feet can touch the ground.

    I think she would actually enjoy the pool party more, if it wasn’t for all the other dogs. She isn’t anti-social, but I think she gets overwhelmed.

    Naima had her first ever encounter with a pheasant last week. I take her to Dickcissel Park so she can be off the leash and there is water for her to stomp around in. She doesn’t really like the Dog Park. She’d rather be on a walk than in the Dog Park. Any ways, she flushed 3 pheasants out of the brush while we were out there. She was very excited about it.

  3. There is much truth in this. She loves playing with other dogs when they are visiting us.

    When we leave the house, other dogs don’t interest her all that much.
