C'mon In, The Water Is…. COLD!

This pair of canine buddies were undeterred by cold temps and even colder water and enjoyed a romp at Compo beach on Saturday. One appears to be a Red Golden Retriever which is a natural variation of the Golden Retriever. Both are very similar in temperament, friendliness, socialness, health, and looks. They differ most in coat color, size, and energy. They are typically the smallest puppies of the litter and are more athletic meaning more energy to burn! His buddy is likely a Parti Labradoodle. Labradoodles are a cross between a Poodle and a Labrador Retriever. They were initially bred in Australia in the 1980s in an effort to create a hypoallergenic guide dog. The combination results in an intelligent, friendly, and low-shedding dog.

One person was sent to the hospital tonight after they struck a parked car on Riverside Avenue, which then resulted in their car rolling onto the driver’s side before it came to a rest in front of the Saugatuck Rowing Club. A small crowd of onlookers from the local restaurants and bars gathered to watch as first responders assisted the person in climbing out through their sunroof and into the care of awaiting Westport EMS personnel. The road was opened a short time later. No information has been released. WestportLocal.com photo
