Today I took Indy swimming for the first time this year. He knew exactly what we were doing as soon as we pulled into the parking lot. As we walked down the steps to the fountain I noticed so not so fun signs that were posted in 4 different locations that were not there last year.
Alright, I'm typically not one that will forbid instructional signs, but this is ridiculous. This is the fountain where everyone takes their dog to swim. No one else was there and I didn't see any police or animal control trucks around so I let Indy off his leash and let him swim. He was loving it!
After about 20 minutes another dog was coming down the stairs so I put Indy on his leash not knowing the owner's take on the seemingly new leash policy. The guy said it was BS and no one understands the reason for it, but that animal control is making constant visits so you need to keep your leash handy. He took his dog off leash and I let Indy back off of his.
Twenty more minutes of swimming passed and I looked across the park to the parking lot of a neighboring restaurant to see an animal control officer pulling up. I called Indy out of the water and we took off running to the car. Thankfully we weren't ticketed and Indy got a good almost hour of swim time in.
