Ever since Copper’s less than enthusiastic visit to the pool at Barley’s Canine Recreation Center, we decided to take my nephew’s dog, Ruffles, the Portly Beagle, and see how he would fare. Given Copper’s first swim lesson, we kept our expectations low. We thought he would take to the water the same way, but instead were pleasantly surprised. The Beagle loved it!
At first he was hesitant, but once he saw the other dogs playing in the water, he had to join in:
To see the difference between the two, here’s Copper’s swim again:
Big difference! Good thing Barley’s has other activities besides swimming. It’s a great place for dogs. They have a wide range of activities and services:
They also have an entire wall-full of dog toys: 
So even though Copper won’t be returning to the pool anytime soon, Ruffles definitely will!
Happy Playing!
