Dog Swim
Hi Everyone
I just found out that our helping group for our Leesburg Dog Park (that would be Leesburg Dogs, Inc - A 501c(3) Non-Profit Corporation
will be hosting a Dog Swim on September 12 at the newest fun place to go to in Leesburg, Virginia.
Check out the A.V. Symington Aquatic Center at Ida Lee Park!
The water park will be closing for the season, and so guess what? The dogs get to go and swim on a very special day and have a wonderful fun event. Personally, I don't swim very well. Actually, I don't swim at all, cause I sink to the bottom of the bowl really fast (because of all my huge muscles, I think), but I am so excited about this event. I think there are perhaps places here that I can just dip my toes in the water, but for sure, I will get to meet lots of my friends and watch them have fun.
And you KNOW that WillowBee will be going, right?
WillowBee spends as much time as she possibly can sitting in our kiddie pool on our back deck, but then again, she is a Labrador and that is what Labrador's do best, isn't it? Sit around in tubs of water? Ha.
This event will be happening from 9am to 12 Noon on September 12th and only costs a small price of $5 per dog (2-dog per family limit) And children under the age of 8-people years will not be permitted to come along because the pup play might get a little rambunctious (isn't that a wonderful word that I learned from our friend, Mary Harper?).
When I was a small pup, my Mom and my Sis, Lydia, took me to a Dog Swim at a regular outdoor swimming pool in Ashburn, Virginia. I was so amazed. There were dogs EVERYWHERE in that pool and swimming like crazy pups. It was so much fun to watch!
And our Aquatic Center at Ida Lee Park is HUGE and here are all the things that you can find there:
o 600’ Lazy River
o Large slide Tower with Two Body Flumes
o Drop Slides
o Crossing Feature
o Two Gang Slides
o Little Squirt Whale
o Large “Beach” Area with Bubblers and Water Fountains
o 25 yard Lap Lanes
o Dumping Buckets
o Water Pipe Fall
o Shade Structures
o Concession Stand
o Grass Picnic Area
o Floating Snake and Alligator
o Birthday Party Packages
THAT IS A LOT OF FUN THINGS ISN'T IT? I am one Lucky Dog to live in Leesburg, that is for sure! Our swimming hole opened on May 23 of this very year and if you want to go and have lots of fun between now and the time of The Dog Swim, you can call 703 779 5390 for more information and facts.
Because this is a fund raising event for Leesburg Dogs, Inc (we need to get some better water drinking spots at our dog park), there will be lots of vendors here that you can visit, and I'm sure someone will sell you a Hot Dog to eat, or something to drink and it will be Fun, Fun, Fun.
We are going to see if Luke and Huds and Murphs can be there first thing in the morning too, so that might be a chance to meet them. I'll be blogging about their full schedule again very soon, but don't forget they will be here in our area for a couple of weeks and you will for sure want to see them.
Anyway. Add this fun event to your calendar of fun events! And wear your very nicest swimming pants!
Love and Licks,
Bob
