Frida

Greetings from the pool !
My name is Frida and I was adopted in 2002 by a nice couple in Vancouver. I am part pit bull, part who knows what and I have an insatiable appetite when it comes to rubber balls and chasing them. My parents used to take me to the park almost every day but they started to notice me limping on my front right shoulder when I would return the ball. I have no problem playing hurt but they thought it would be wise to see the vet. X-rays showed that I had some premature arthritis in my shoulders. Unfortunately running and jumping are not the best thing for a sore shoulder. All of a sudden my most favorite thing in the world was cut way back to maybe once or twice a week. Life became dull. Then one day my mom was watching the news and saw a story on a lady who had opened a pool for dogs. We had a family meeting and decided it might be a good alternative to the park. It turns out I am an awesome swimmer, and my favorite type of ball floats so I can still chase it. The best part is that there is no pounding on my joints and I am totally exhausted when my session is done. Swimming is hard work! Nowadays I get out to the pool on the weekends which is great just to stay in shape. If I had it my way I would move in with Kendall
