Wow, thanks for checking back in on my big OLYMPIC SWIMMING EVENT DAY! Don't forget to go back to the 6am & 8am group of small dogs and cats in the Mighty Minnow events. And be sure to go back to 10am to see the Splashing Salmon group of mid-sized dogs. Then, don't miss the 6pm edition with Extreme Exotics for all of those other swimming critters. So, are you ready?!? Here come those big dogs...these are the Winning Whales!
Lifeguard PUDDLES has taken up her chair!

My water pressure dropped, was it because all these big guys jumped in. They are all really good swimmers. Thanks Sarge for bringing us the Olympic Swimming Event.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
Mighty Minnows, Splashing Salmon, Winning Whales ... Sarge, you've outdone yourself with these events, one and all. We can all say farewell to Michael Phelps ... he doesn't stand a chance against all you furry four-legged waterbabies!
ReplyDeleteGreat Event ...
I won, I won! OK, we all won, BOL. Hey, why is Puddles lifeguard when she don't even swim? Whew, glad I made it back so shore. I know, she just wants to show off her gawjuss self.
ReplyDeleteMOL MOL MOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a great competition you have ongoing today. By chance do you know where Puddles bought her most form fitting dress. I'd like one to match

Frank x x x x x x x x x x x
ReplyDeleteSarge... I gotta SAY this..
ReplyDeleteYou make a GRRRRRRREAT sports
Common Tater.
Wow! What an amazing group of competitors! The photo of Roo and the hammerhead shark is a bit unnerving, however.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was in the Splashing Salmon category, so when I didn't see my entry, I thought I must have been disqualified due to past youthful indiscretions discovered by the Olympic Committee. So I'm EXTREMELY relieved to find myself in the Winning Whales category (which I believe is appropriate considering my stocky English lab build).
Thanks Sarge! You run a fabulous competition!
WOW! That was so exciting. We were on the edge of our chairs.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & roxy
Wooooohoooo...ya'll goooooo! Everybuddy did such a wonderful jon=b...well, Deccy, I thinks he was nappin (one less dog I has to look afters). I am just do darn impressed withs all these dogs skills in da water. How comes they don't melt like me?
ReplyDeleteDang, I does look good don't I?
Puddles
Great swimming all around. But dachshunds like me and Sissy don't swim....we can'r paddle with our short little legs0
ReplyDeleteSniff ya later..........Weenie

ReplyDeleteLicks,
Ruthie
Wow what an awesome bunch of competitors. Everyone looks so great.
ReplyDeleteGrreat job, everyone! I'm so impressed and inspired to keep on swimming!
ReplyDeleteThose are some terrific athletes Sarge! The competition is fierce. What a good job by all. :)
ReplyDeletePuddles, is that you???? My, oh my!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Sarge- excellent job hosting the swimming event. However, I'm a little concerned about Puddles be able to save me if I fall in. My head is bigger then her whole body, how will she tow me back. Maybe a bigger stronger gal like Shawnee - I mean she's got endurance- should be my lifeguard.
ReplyDeletewoof - Tucker
