surprise gift

So Obe got the bear, new boots, treats, bones, cards with treats from neighbors, visit to the vet for shots (oh joy). My ex got him a gift, no he is not spoiled.

Dad hunted online for an indoor play area, Guess what, I got 10 visits to an indoor swimming area. Whoa, whoa , whoa, hold up, did you say swim. I dont swim, I wade, chest deep, feet cant touch, noooo fun.

Today Obe went an indoor dog pool down in Denver and had a blast. He put on his life jacket, ran, played and went swimming for the first time.

He was nervous at first walking down the ramp but... he liked it. He swam and swam, and now he sleeps and I'm happy.

BTW the pics are from summer, him wading. Will post pics of him at indoor pool next week.

Those photos are fantastic,I cant wait to see the new ones.I wish we had dog play areas here.We do have the great outdoors type but I would love to find a place with a doggy swimming pool.Your Obe is just gorgeous.
Cant wait to see the dog pool photos.
There are hardly dog pools in Melb. and they're mostly for rehabing injured dogs after knee/hip surgery etc. It would be fun to see what Tiggy thought.
I am looking forward to seeing him swim.
What fun! :D
Never heard of an indoor doogie pool. Can't wait to see pics, especially of Obe in his life vest!
oooh sounds very exciting! can't wait to see pics either :) lucky pupper!!! :lol:
It is a rehab facility for dog for the most part. Just a big warehouse really. They have water treadmills, single tanks for dogs, massage, acupuncture, stretching, obedience and agility training, etc.
Separate from that is the fenced off area that has the indoor pool. You can reserve the pool on certain days for a max of 30 minutes . Just you and your dog are allowed in the area. It cost a dollar a minute for that. What Obe and I did was $8 for as long as he or I want.
I have looked for a place like this for those days when it rains and Obe wont go outside but is bursting with energy. Well now he can go swim and play indoors.
Wow!! What a fabulous gift!!!!

And you're very lucky to have a facility like that close to you. It sounds superb.

The silver looking box in the upper part of the picture is the underwater treadmill.

What a great gift and a wonderful opportunity for bonding time. How fortunate you are to live in a dog friendly city with such great facilities.
