 | Doggie Paddle Pool Party
August 13, 2005: Chattanooga has a new annual event wherein the city's Olympic-sized public pool goes, well, to the dogs, for just one day. Proceeds benefit the Animal Care and Adoption Center, whose worthy mission is to build a $5.6 million state-of-the-art animal care, adoption, and education facility. Lots of people came to support the cause and share a day of boundless canine fun with their best buds. The Retrievers (mostly of the Labrador and Golden clans) ruled, of course, but all the dogs were enjoying the sun and the fun, from the Wolfhounds to the Chihuahuas, and everything in between. We were finally chased off by a wicked thunderstorm, but not before I caught these pictures for posterity.
