Mutt Swim 2010


My people and I headed out for the Mutt Strut this year. But, unfortunately, at least for my people, it was pouring down rain almost the whole time. So, it was more like a Mutt Swim this year. It reminded me a lot of when I went swimming last year.







Last year it was hot and sunny the whole day. We had a great race, and I did really well. I think I won. I was in the winner circle, I know that .












I could see it was looking bad as we were heading in. I wasn't worried for myself, but I know how people are.

I ran into Laney pretty quickly after getting inside. Laney and I were on the same team this year. In fact most of the gang from the Bark Park were all on the same corporate team. That allowed us special access to treats, because our team was so special.

But, this day, the people were all dressed in plastic, and umbrellas.

I was on Laney's corporate team this year. That meant I got to go in and eat treats that were there just for the corporate team. I don't know if any of you know this or not, but I really love treats.

Someone bright in a wagon full of Pugs... Why would anyone do that?


When we hit the track the people were all scared about getting wet. So, rather than take a full lap, they just did a short loop down the straight away, and then back up the straight away.

So, I didn't even get a chance to win the race this year. But, that is ok. I was kind of in a hurry to get back to where the treats were anyway.

Me and Mom and Dad dressed in plastic... how embarrassing.




Despite the rain. It was a great day. I got to eat lots of treats, and hang out with my friends.











How do you improve on a day like that?

Glad I could join you for a swim, Gizmo. You think your parents were embarrassing in plastic? I heard my mom was bopping people around with that weird tent on stick she was carrying??? See you at the park buddy.
High paw,
Buddy
