The arbor heights website says dog days starts tomorrow (Tuesday) can anyone confirm if it is happening tonight?

Yes, they added today, per direct message from our contact there, after we had published the original announcement.

WSB – At first glace I though the photo was of the pooches…

Robert- same here! I was so thrown off. I thought “what is that a pool of (that the dogs are swimming in)??”

Sorry, I guess sometimes the out-of-context photo-of-the-day might not work with the headline! Will think about that harder in the future. The photo was shared after last week’s event, and I haven’t had enough info for a separate story but I just thought the photo was eye-catching. If I’d run another one that’s in queue, a swimming sea otter, that might have been even stronger fodder for double take (“what an ODD looking pooch!”) … TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
