soggy doggies

last weekend was the orlando dachshund meetup group's annual pool party, which is both a fun and different event for the dogs as well as a fundraiser for the dachshund rescue dare. it's held at happy paws pet resort where they have a bone shaped pool made especially for the dogs. the shallow end is six inches, which is the perfect depth for stubby ween legs. i'll admit, we go more for my enjoyment than the dogs'. some of the dogs love it, but mine aren't too interested in the water. i think they think it's a big bath tub.

happy paws' bone pool


this is riley's swimming face. sheer terror.




did you see me? i'm a pro!

winnie can't swim and had to be rescued almost immediately. she kept her head above water, but her butt sank, and she was treading water completely vertical. who knows if that was all nerves though. maybe someday when she becomes a normal dog...

please make it go away.


and then she hid under the table.


this pic just makes me laugh. that's a suspicious look if i ever saw one.

um, why do i hear the jaws theme?
