    Very good idea ! Apparently you love water too !

      Sandee says:

      Yes I do, Gattina. If there wasn’t so much smoke from all these wildfires we’d be out on the water. 🙂

    Hehehe these are brilliant! That great dane trying to balance in the inflatable band in the pool is what I’d look like trying to do it 😂

    Thanks for the giggles, Sandee! You find some great funnies.
    I hope you have a lovely week ahead xx

      I’m happy about that, Steve. Are you going to do some of those things? Asking for a friend. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I thought so too. It wasn’t to long either. Pawkisses Little Binky. My best to your granny. 🙂

    Sandee,

    If I wore a fur coat in the summer I’d be jumping in every puddle of water I came across. Poor doggies! These in the video are having a good time staying cool, though. The one in the sink cracked me up! 😀 So, happy y’all are safe from the wildfires. Saying special prayers for you, your community, and home. {{hugs}}

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Me too, Cathy. We used to make sure our Little Bit had summer cuts when it was hot out and if we were outside we’d run cool water over her. She loved that. Hugs. 🙂

    Such a cute video! I had to share it with my friend in the Phoenix area! She said they’ve been having days of 115-120 temps. I sure don’t miss the desert! 😀

    Good one, our Cookie did not like baths so much she would tolerate them, but the minute the water was shut off she would stat shaking the water off her getting the whole bathroom wet if we weren’t fast enough with the towels to block the water from flying everywhere. 🤣🤣💕💕

      Sandee says:

      Our Little Bit didn’t mind baths at all. She didn’t like to swim though. They are all different aren’t they. Thanks for playing along, Mike. 🙂

    Doggos in fountains…love it!
    The wee pupper who splashed all of the water out of the bowl, then curled up inside of it was the cutest by far!

      Sandee says:

      Our Little Bit hated to swim, but loved playing in water that wasn’t to deep. 🙂

      Me either. It’s just all so fun to see these pups having the time of their lives. 🙂

My wisdom was not gained through a higher education but through the University Of Life and all the insight, knowledge gained through the pain of trials and tribulations on the path of weeping to healing.

Sweet Blessings!

    I enjoy watching this video. Makes me laugh and wish I were there in person. The pups are so happy playing with the water. It must have a very hot day. Great idea to have a pool just for the furry friends to enjoy.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.

    Eddie hates water. He is like a lizard and will sit in the hot sun, bu touch him with one drop of water and he freaks out! Our other fur family member Zoe loved the water. I guess it really does depend on the dog?!

    Have a great one!

      Our Little Bit did to. If it was very shallow she was fine, but swimming wasn’t something she liked to do. You have a great one too. 🙂

    That was so fun! I loved the fountain that they operated themselves…our goldens would have had fun with that. Luke would have too, when he was younger, but he seemed to outgrow his love of water.

      Sandee says:

      Tell Luke I love him. He already knows that and so do you, but I like saying it. 🙂
