It's a Dog's Life

Aida's first Dog Park

Aida enjoyed her first dog park experience. We took her to "Bow Wow Beach" in Stow with "grandma" and "grandpa." As soon as we got there she took off straight into the water, no hesitations. She spent the afternoon swimming, drinking the lake water, and chasing and being chased by the other dogs.

We have been looking for a dog park here in Virginia, however we haven't found one with a swimmin' hole. But if we can't find a swimming lake for dogs we can pay for her to swim laps at the many Dog Resorts in the area. I am not kidding. For $35 a session she can swim laps at the resort. Or we could pay for her to enjoy many of the services that the resorts offer from manicures to facials to private cuddle time. It is ridiculous what people pay for around here. Not that I wouldn't do it if I had the money burning a hole in my pocket, but i don't, so we won't worry about it. Ben would probably kick me out :)

Aida gives grandpa a snakey lick on the face on the way to the park.

As Aida would run through the water, Baywatch style, she kept scooping up water in her mouth. It's amazing she didn't get sick!

After running through the water, she had to shake it all off. Of course it was usually as close to you as she could get, thus getting us all wet!

Grandma and Grandpa watch from the bench as Aida runs by.

One of Aida's favorite things is to be chased and Ben is really good at it!
