It was like 102 degrees (~39ยฐC) yesterday evening (and about as humid as Vietnam), but he was SOOOOOO BORED. So I got him out of the house. He made it eleven feet into the park, pooped, and immediately went to the pool afterwards to wait for me to fill it.

Nice. Where do you get one of those for a reasonable price these days?

My first dog, I got exactly that for $4 from a grocery store as a seasonal thing

However, after our second dog was a fiasco, I got rid of that since we werenโ€™t getting another dog.

Now our third dog has not been swimming. Sheโ€™s a rescue who still reacts against other dogs so we canโ€™t bring her to a lake or dog park. I want one of these pools again to see if sheโ€™d take to it, but she doesnโ€™t like to get wet so odds are not in my favor. I think the same pool was $28 last time I saw one, and Iโ€™m not interested in throwing away that much money. Almost all โ€œbaby poolsโ€ I see now are inflatable, which wouldnโ€™t survive a dogs first use. So are there really no cheap plastic pools anymore?
