Time Flies and We're Having Fun: Too Cool for her Pool

Or should I say, a pool to KEEP her cool??? :)

We keep Bailey outside during the day in a covered/shaded dog run in the back yard....has her dog house for her to crash out in, water bowls, she takes her chew bone out there every morning etc etc and she does really well with that setup. Well, it has been pretty WARM here in Houston lately, so we decided to get Bailey a hard plastic kiddie pool to put in there with her and fill it up.......she IS a lab after all...a water dog so to speak....so she should love it right?

Well it was quite funny when we got it and brought it home...filled it up and we tried to show her what to do. It took me getting in the pool, and taking her by her collar and lifting each paw into the pool and dragging her in there, a few times actually...till she got the hang of it. Which she finally did and she DOES like it! LOL!!! Except over every other trait she has...this dog is both a digger and a CHEWER....and I mean that big time!!! She has had the pool about 3-4 weeks now and Freddy came inside last nite and told me he filled it up.....but that it was leaking out...why? Cause silly Miss Bailey decided to chew a hole in the BOTTOM of the freakin thing? How the HELL did she manage that? SHEESH!!! crazy dog!! So, we let it drain out and are gonna duct tape the bottom of it and see if that holds...our luck we will come home to an empty pool once again tomorrow afternoon, and a dog that is gonna have silver poop in a day or two when the duct tape re-surfaces.....anyone willing to wager a bet on that one? Don't bet against it...you are pretty much bound to lose.....HA!!!
