Dog Walk and Swim

I've never heard this kind of event before, but whoever thought about this is so awesome!!! The event is called "Dog walk and swim". Draper pool opens the last day for the dogs! It is a pretty big event! It started with a walk. I think I saw more than 100 dogs there. There were all kinds of dogs, really huge ones, tall ones, really small ones... I don't know the names of breeds, but you name it! It was there!

We walked for about 20-30 min, there were people standing on the trail to direct which way to go... (just like 5k or 10k with humans ;0) They had trash cans for boo-boos and buckets with water on the trail ;0) Pete was doing pretty good even though many other dogs were walking along with him! Kai did good with walk also! He got a little slow, so dogs behind him were sniffing him and giving kisses too much.... I had to get him in the stroller ;0)

After the walk, all the dogs went free in the pool area! It is an outdoor pool, and thank goodness it is the last day! I wouldn't swim there after seeing so many dogs in the pool! hahahaha It was crazy... you see dogs running, sniffing, peeing on the poles, jumping in the pool, swimming... it was a mad house!!!!

It was so fun to see so many dogs swimming together! They were going nuts in the water to get the tennis balls that thier mom and dad threw! Pete was so busy chasing after other dogs to play for 30-40 min... didn't even care about swimming!!!
Josiah finally grabbed him and threw in the pool! (We thought Pete was a little scared that he couldn't touch the bottom of the pool when we was trying to get out!) He didn't want to go back in for a while... But he also wanted the tennis balls, so he finally jumped into the pool with other dogs around him! After that, he kept playing fetch in the pool for a while!

We got this nice leash from the ruffle!!! It was so cool! Since we found out that we have lost Pete's this morning... Josiah had to alternate with rope for walk today. So lucky US!

Kai enjoyed seeing dogs there also! I think it kind of scared him or overwhelmed him at first! He wouldn't get out of the stroller forever and just sat there and watching dogs run and swim. We had such a fun time there! We would love to go next year again!

If there is anyone wants to adopt a dog, that will be a good place to find your puppy! There were dogs with "Adopt me" sign. They were such cute dogs and made me really sad how much fun they were having with other dogs and how innocent they were... yet, they don't have someone that loves them like we love Pete.... I hope they will find a good home!
