Commonwealth Swim Club Doggie Swim

Every year the dogs have to stay home while the family goes to Commonwealth Swim Club to have fun in the water.  On Labor Day, when the pool closes, the dogs get their half hour!  Here are some photos from the last event.  We hope you enjoyed the 2011 season and look forward to seeing you back here on Saturday, May 26, 2012.

Doggie Swim

Sadly, Summer is coming to an end. 
 
It's been a great 100 days of fun at Commonwealth Swim Club.  Before we close until May 26th of next year, we've got one more event to wrap it all up.  When the pool officially closes at 5:00 PM, feel free to bring your faithful family friend to the pool for our annual Doggie Swim. 
 
Pets must be on a leash and be prepared to take care of any business they leave while they are here.  Have fun!
