DSD 2012!

Doggie Swim Day was last Saturday. It was great fun, as always. Nova was the first dog in the pool, however she was not the last dog out, like she has been the previous two years. And she let me know that she did not approve of us leaving early. It took 3 attempts to get her out the gate. Or really, 3 tries before I realized I just needed to take a different path to fool her. She was really funny. We would walk to the end of the deep end (which is nearest to the gate) and she would look at me and RUN back to our spot (it is our spot, because I have thrown her toy from there all three years we have gone) and sit.  So of course, I would have to throw it again.

Here are some action shots.  I even learned how to caption, so good job me.

I love this shot - especially the tongue

Splash down!

Her ears make me laugh.

Waiting to go again.

She has been limping a little, but I figured the swimming would be good for her. While I think it was, I think 2 hours was too much, especially with jumping. After she took a little nap, she didn't use her back leg for the rest of the day :(  She did start using it again the next day, but I think she is still a little sore.  Good thing DSD only comes once a year!!
