POOL PARTY!!

Splish!  Splash!  Swim!  Chase!  Run!  Play!

The Tristan x Nile litter turned one year old in December 2003.  We celebrated with a Pool Party!  All their Pharaoh buddies were invited.  We weren't sure how it would go, since these are desert dogs, but they did great.  We had 11 Pharaoh Hounds and a Rhodesian (plus their humans) at the party.  The water of this indoor pool was a hot 92° and felt wonderful on the cold, rainy day!

Unfortunately, the moist, steamy air made picture quality exceptionally poor plus we used disposable cameras just in case they fell in the pool.  I'm sad they all didn't get their pictures taken.  Next time we'll be better prepared for photos.  At least these show a little bit of the fun!

The birthday kids - Kahla,

Tolly, and Nadia.  Three out of

the litter of seven were able

to attend.  Notice their very

askew Birthday Hats!
