15 Days of Summer: Time for Your Dog's Dip in the Pool
When is the end of summer? Not until your pup gets a day at the water park.
By Greg Hambrick
Whether you’ve spent all summer at the water park, or you never made it this year, there’s still time to let your dog have fun. Today, Saturday, Sept. 7, several area water parks are offering a dog day to end the season with only dogs allowed to get in the water.
The last day of summer is Sept. 21. Or, you can look at it this way: The first day of fall is Sept. 22. Patch has found something for you to do each day as we count down until summer passes us by.
