Camp Bow Wow was well represented at the Discovery Island session of Waggin’ at the Waterpark today! We posted some pics of our Campers to our facebook page, but below are some photos of anyone and everyone who had a good time splashing and wagging!
Rotating header pic to Digger!
Autumn has enjoyed a good long run as our “header girl,” and it’s high time for someone else to take over. Meet our newest poster child: Digger the beagle. Digger dog is no spring chicken, and he can’t really see the other dogs around him in Play Yard 2, but that doesn’t keep him from having a good time! Digger strolls out of his cabin after a nap or a meal and follows a Camp Counselor’s voice to Play Yard 2. Once there, Digger likes to snuffle around the perimeter to figure out what’s what, who’s who, and where’s where. Once he’s situated, this happy guy will wander around until he locates another dog. Then the wrestling begins 
Digger is always ready to let the Camp Counselors give him some love or to serenade us with his beagley song, and Jennifer (our resident hound/beagle lover) has to be told she can’t take him home every time he comes to stay with us. Vision or no, Digger is always a fun & unflappable addition to our small play group!
