We got our first doggie swimming pool many years ago on the farm. Sherman and Spanky were thrilled.
The pool had colorful fishies printed all over the bottom and Spanky loved to stick his head under the water and chomp at them to try and "catch" them. Sherman loved to just lay down, soak and cool off.
To our great disappointment, Tucker, Lucy and Jeffie regarded their doggie swimming pool as a giant water bowl. No playing; no soaking. Just a tongue lap now and then. So much for the pool.
Rudy got so excited about water - that's Rudy shown above when the creek overflowed into our yard - we thought we had a water dog. We were thrilled and picked up a little kiddie pool at the big box store. Our thought was that if he really liked it, we'd get him a bigger one.
Well, Rudy did like to walk around in the doggie pool water. Sometimes he stomped a front foot down to splash. Unfortunately for us, he mostly thought it was a really big water bowl.
Now we have Rosie, a very confident 6 month old puppy who's usually ready to try just about anything!
What is this thing and why is it in my yard?
They've put this thing on the deck now... where are Rudy and Jeffie?
Hey guys, should I be afraid?
Rudy says there's nothing to worry about.
But now they've put my Jolly ball in there
and a tennis ball!
I've got to get my Jolly ball!
Forget the Jolly ball. This is fun!
Oooh... you can drink it! You can splash it!
You can stick your head in it!
Wow, my head is wet!
I think I need a towel!
We now keep a "dog towel" by both the patio and back porch doors for our little swimmer. I managed to capture some video and when I've got some time, I'll get that uploaded to our YouTube channel. Rosie loves the water and I suspect there's a bigger doggie pool in her future!
