Doggy Pool Party
Posted on 20 July 2010 by LynThomas in Humour, Society
Whenever a couple returned home, after being out for a few hours, they discovered the deck around their pool, as well as the pool furniture were covered with water.
They thought the neighbourhood kids were watching for them to leave their home, then dashing in and making use of the swimming pool. Whey the couple asked their neighbours if they had seen anyone around their home while they were out, the answer always came back negative.
Totally mystified, the couple set up a video cam recorder, determined to find who the culprits were.
Imagine their surprise when they discovered it was a neighbour’s dog from across the street. He would run down the slippery slide, flop into the pool, then repeat the process over and over again, until he became exhausted.
However, not all dogs enjoy water, but for those who do, Hong Kong has created pools just for dogs. In Mexico, the Eldorado Dog Club has an annual swim day for dogs.
Pool For Dogs
Australia is also in the forefront of the doggy business. In Melbourne, Kepala Pet Resort is a five star luxury resort for pets, which includes a full size swimming pool.
Dogsoverboard, in New South Wales, specializes in dog therapy, with its in-ground in-door heated pool. They offer day/stay swim packages for overweight dogs, or dogs recovering from an injury, or surgery, or dogs who just enjoy frolicking in warm water.
However, it is estimated that more dogs drown in swimming pools than people. It is assumed that dogs are naturally better swimmers than people. While most dogs have a natural instinct to swim, dogs are not able to swim very well. While keen to plunge into a pool, many have difficulty getting out again.
Just as the authorities insist on ‘child-proofing’ swimming pools, so special precautions must be taken around pool, as protection for dogs.
