Woofstock Gallery Up and Swimming Info

Stella and HarperOkay, Woofstock was a lot of fun and here is the gallery. Parking was great. If you are going tomorrow you missed a lot of havanese fun on our meetup but tips - go early, get out of there early.

Then we came home. Gidget departed (sigh). Ziggy came. Mia joined us while her humans looked at houses.

We tried swimming.

Trigger swam but I carried him into Nathan. Once he swam he was okay and seemed to truly enjoy it but it wasn't his idea. Adele, Cali, Leti, Levon, Scruffy and Pepper decided they would go far, far away. I laughed. They were not keen in going in. We will try again tomorrow.

They watched Kat and Roxie swim and all were really interested in what they were doing but wasn't sure they wanted to try.

Roxie was the first to jump in.

Most of the time they leapt in from each side but I didn't have the wide angle lens on so only caught one or the other. I will know better tomorrow.

It was a short swim session as the pool is still a tad cloudy but warm and we had dogs coming and going. With Woofstock we only had a small window. Tomorrow we will have more time to swim.

LOL, Trigger does not look like a happy swimmer at all!

He can swim just fine though. If we keep trying he will relax. He did have a happier face as he swam.

I was great to see you, Nathan, Cali, Adele, and everyone else (human and canine) today, Darlah! I know Chris and I had a good time, and Piper slept the entire way home and then some so she must of as well.

It was great to see all 3 of you. You will have to come visit too. Adele and Cali also slept all the way home but you have a bit further to go. Hope you managed to relax when you got home. Glad so many came. Hope next year even more will come.

I knew it! I think Scruffy & Pepper are afraid of the water. They don't like my baths....I think this is the genesis of their fear :(

Lori: Nah do not believe that is the case. Did you see who else ran away. Even Risa who likes to swim and lounge on the stairs wasn't interested yesterday. We will see who wants to go in today. Got to get the summer conditioning in. Ziggy is here and Scruffy, Levon and Trigger are in heaven as its indeed boys fun. Pepper is now finding fun with the gals too. Brewer and Coops arrives this morning - real boys fun!!

What fun Roxie and Kat exhibit in these picture. Trigger appears to be heading for the stairs and out.

May 25, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKathy & Kona

Yes, we'll have to figure out a day to come for a visit. We want to go to the aquarium sometime this summer, so maybe we can drop Piper off with you for the afternoon and get a visit in as well :)

No one yet quite likes it like Kat and Roxie but Trigger actually went about 5 times and warmed up to it. Couldn't get Levon interested nor Scruffy but Pepper willingly went in and swam like a champ. Will try Scruffy and Cooper and Ziggy tomorrow. I am all brushed out. :-) I haven't swam yet. Will after Levon and Trigger depart and maybe just humans for a rare treat.
