I never swam in a pool before

A Poem by Bailey

I never swam in a pool before
The day I walked through La Paw Spa’s door

You greeted me with treats and a smile
We sat and we talked about things for awhile

Then up the ramp we all did go
What was ahead I did not know

You let me run to calm me down
I ran and ran and ran around

When it was time to take a dip
You picked me up without a slip

And in we went to water warm
You held me safe in your strong arms

I knew that I was safe with you
I knew you knew just what to do

I never knew I could feel so free
I was light as the wind in a summer breeze

I’ve always loved to run and play
This reminds me of the good old days

I’m a lucky dog that you are here
I’m a lucky dog that you are near

I never swam in a pool before
But I’ll be back through your front door
