Milo

Dog Dog days of days of Summer

Hello friends,

Milo here, your favorite Family and MWR mascot!

This has been a rollercoaster of a year for many of us, but we’re getting back to normal. We want you to know that there’s so much to do around Fort Bliss for Families and their four-legged buddies!

Keep an eye out for Yappy Hour events happening at the Sam Adams Pub patio, located at Centennial Banquet and Conference Center. There are different themes for each month, they start in April and will end in August!

Take part in all the fun with food and drink specials; there are fun games and activities too.

One of the main events to look forward to with your best fur-bud is Doggy Swim Day!

The last day in the Community Pool is reserved for the dogs at Fort Bliss. This year it will be held, Saturday, Sep. 10 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Community Pool. Fur-buddies will be allowed to jump in the pool to play, swim and participate in contests!

Please remember, this day belongs to the dogs. Children ages 5 and younger are not allowed at this event and only patrons 18 and older are allowed in the pool with their dogs. These age restrictions are for the safety of all the dogs and patrons.

The cost is $2 per dog, pet parents enter for free! Dogs must have proof of current vaccinations – rabies and parvo/distemper – ready to be shown at time of entrance. Patrons will have to fill out a liability form before entering the pool.

The fun doesn’t stop there, dogs can enter a contest! Try out for the best dressed, owner and dog look alike and best trick contests and win fun doggy prizes.

I hope to see you all out there enjoying the sun and pool fun!

Paws and Kisses,
