Beneath the blazing sun, a roof. And beneath that a swimming pool. In and around the swimming pool, a host of 60+ pound dogs and countless tennis balls. The dogs were as kids…running beside the pool, slipping, cutting corners, running into each other…being unsafe. Jack did all this and jumped into the water. He fetched his ball and stole the ball of others as they did his. It was mayhem. They were being scolded, laughed at, extolled for following orders and showing initiative. They laid lumber in and around the pool, sniffed butts, looked jealous and disagreed on a few things. It was a fun day. Once a year at Hough Pool, a day for the dogs. A day for them to swim beneath a roof, beneath the blazing sun.
