Henry the Long Jumper: Drool in the Pool Recap

Henry puts the NO in No Diving!

Drool in the Pool was so much fun. We arrived just before 6pm and Henry had a chance to jump in a few times before the whistle blew and it was break time for the dogs. All dogs exited the pool and as we made our way to a shady spot we found the sign up table for the Long Jump Contest. We signed up Henry and then waited as the break inched along. Henry was a little excited at this point, okay A LOT excited. Michael was trying to calm him and Henry began bucking like a wild bronco! He was shaking a bit so we directed his attention away from the pool. He calmed down slightly just before the Long Jump Contest began and he howled at the dogs that jumped before him. Then it was his turn and I caught it all on video! Check it out on the Live Love Local YouTube channel by clicking here. I laugh when I watch the video, because it is hilarious!

After the contest, Henry jumps some more!

Henry jumped 12 feet and 3 inches for 2nd place! He won a comb. After the contest Henry jumped into the water again and again and made some friends. Then I had a chance to notice the event was significantly less crowded than previous years. The dogs were having a ton of fun. The volunteers from Bloomington Parks and Recreation and The Doghouse did a great job making sure everything ran smoothly.

Cheers to everyone involved, this is such a great event! Tonight is the final Drool in the Pool and there are more contests. Check out my blog post from yesterday here for all you need to know!
