We have been having very hot weather this week, over 95 today, and supposed to stay in the 90's for at least most of the next week. It seemed like it might be a good idea to get a little kiddie pool for Chipper and Tootsie to cool down in when they are outside on the hot days.
Usually, they are inside during the heat of the day, but they follow me when i go out in the yard; so we got a small pool, about 6' across and 1' deep, which is fine for both of them to swim in. Chipper is only about six lbs, and Tootsie is just over ten lbs, so neither one is very large.
We set the pool up and filled it with water, and then put the dogs in to try it out. Neither one was sure that they wanted to go in the water, and they were both giving us these really cute little looks like they were wondring what was going on.
They both had a nice little swim and then sat in the shade to dry off while I was swimming around in our little intex pool.
Both dogs seemed like they felt better after the swim; so I will be putting them in their little pool on hot days for the rest of the summer.
