Just in case you haven’t heard, a national sport has evolved called dock dogs, of which Tacoma has their own chapter with the Puget Sound Dock Dogs. The concept is pretty simple. Get a bunch of dogs and their owners together wherever there’s a body of water (hint: the swimming pool at Mill Creek Town Center works great) and let them take turns diving into the pool. When your dog’s number comes up, toss its favorite chew toy into the water, yell “Fetch!” and watch the aerial ballet begin. Naturally enough, kids are more than welcome. But it’s the canines’ turn to bark “Last one in is a rotten egg!” Next event is September 29th and 20th at Northwest Club Challenge and Fun Jump in Lacey.
