Henry gets a bath... (and so does Richard)

One of Richard's favorite pastimes is to taking his dad's dog, Henry, to the dog park. He's had lots of trips to the park, but he's never had the pleasure of playing in a pool... until today!

At the end of the summer the Oak Knoll Wading Pool in Massillon opens the pool to doggies wanting to cool off on a hot summer day. We stopped by with Henry during the large dog time slot. We've got some video footage, too, but thought we would post some pictures in the meantime.

That's one wet springer spaniel...

"Hey, were'd everyone go?"

Checking in with Richard...

Henry made a new friend, a 7-month old chocolate lab named Hendrix.

At some point in the afternoon I got covered in mud. I think it was one of the great danes shaking off near me. It was worth it, though... Henry had a fantastic time!

We'll have to try the doggie beach in Stow if we're up for a bit of a road trip some time. Henry definitely had a great time and we don't want to wait another year before he gets to play in the water again. I'm glad your doggie friend got home safe and sound! You're good doggie neighbors.
