Around the world people are celebrating the beginning of summer. At WOOF, we celebrate with two perfect “the weather is getting warmer” activities.
Swimming:
Hello, Cody Murphey
Â
And napping:
Â
Goodnight, Riley Murphey
Â
For our own little tribute to May Day, we’ll share all the swimming and napping moments we captured this week.
Â
Jesse demonstrates a common misconception among our guests.Â
Â
Jesse Feil
Â
 That you can actually “catch” the water.
Â
Others take a more laid back approach.
Â
Buddy Garcia
Â
Buddy just relishes the cool water on his toes.
Â
Beckham, hoping the water won't make his curls frizzy
Lola keeps herself calm, cool and collected – which is quite important for these short muzzled breeds. (She’s a bulldog so we make sure she stays cool in warm weather.)
Â
Lola Jennings
Â
WOOF TIP: Did you know dogs with this face shape overheat easily? Dogs regulate their body temperatures by panting and breeds like bulldogs, pugs, french bulldogs, boston terriers (think “scrunched face” dogs) have an inefficient face shape to lower their body temperatures naturally. So it’s important to keep these guys in the shade and with access to cool water at all times. Learn more here.
Â
Then there are, of course, the heavy drinkers.
Â
Bottoms up, Heidi Bennett
Â
Daisy Angle goes right for the source
Â
We don’t blame them – the water is so cold and delicious!
Â
A few shots from the “straight-up splashers” group.
Â
Show that water who's boss, Cody Murphey!
Â
Notice Lola standing by, getting some residual spray.
Â
Girl power, Heidi Bennett!
Â
This group gets cooled off and their exercise, which leads to… NAP TIME, of course.
