Pawm Springs Dog Park:Not For Seniors

The Pawm Springs Memorial Dog park here in Sugar land is not exactly senior dog friendly.  This is in reference to the pond/lake.  I don't know why it was designed to drop off at the edge like a swimming pool.  Perhaps this happened after erosion but I'm assuming the entire thing is concrete just like a pool.  Whatever the case, it makes arthritic dogs apprehensive about stepping in and a great deal of difficulty getting out.  Of course the young pups come running and jump but the older dogs not so much.

 You can see in this picture the amount of drop off and it varies around the pond.
Nevertheless, I'm sure Lucy and Sable prefer this as opposed to nothing.  They love the water.  Now if we could just get Joe to join in the fun.
