  1. This is nice. We've never had events like that in our country... It would be awesome to enjoy seeing my dogs cool off in this blazing heat.

  2. How fun! We went to a "pet spa" this spring in Desert Hot Springs CA that lets dogs run lose on the property, and lets them go in the pool w/ the humans. And the pool is fed by a mineral hot springs, so you don't have to worry about chlorinating your pup. Unfortunately our pup wouldn't swim with us, but it was fun watching the dogs in the pool.
