On Monday evening, August 17, 2009, the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Derpartment held its third annual "Hot Dippity Dog" event at the Memorial Park public swimming pool. This was the last day the pool was open for the summer since almost all the lifeguards and other staff were returning to classes. It was a little chilly so attendance was down a little from the hundreds of mutts which participated for the pool closing dog party the previous summer.

Since many of the participants at this fun event were regulars at our North Jefferson City Dog Park(also a function of our fine Parks and Recreation Department) it seemed logical to place this gallery within the Dog Park galleries.
