| Swimming pool?? Boy, it's getting how as summer is approaching and I really want my babies to play in the water so they can enjoy summer Did anyone here buy a pool for their baby? Any suggestions? Bf is thinking this one ehh, me not so much.... So, I thought I'd come here to hear fellow YTer's suggestions.

| It was in the 90's a few days ago here in Michigan. ZoE was outside with me (sitting in the shade) while I was planting flowers. When I sprayed the hose, she went nutz trying to run through it. (she loves having a bath) So took a lid to a storage tote & filled it with water (less than an inch deep...lol), but she had such a great time paddling in it . I'm looking for a small pool for her too! I'm looking for something hardsided because blowup pools puncture too easily.

| I've posted this a lot lately, hehe... but here I bought this pool for Jackson (ha- I WISH! It's my dads pool). But he also loves the baby pools some of my relatives have. They have them at Kmart for like $12.

| Couver loves swimming so we've been thinking about getting a kiddie pool for them. I would advise getting once that you don't have to inflate. I think that they would pop an inflatable one pretty quickly?

| With the way Princess digs up her water like a maniac I think she'd love a little pool. I just have a small balcony so I think I'm actually buying an under the bed storage container. It's a good size & shallow enough to get in & out of. It'll also be easy to fill as I don't have a hose, yet wont be too heavy to empty, etc. I've been looking for a pool for a long time with no luck.

| I've been looking for one of these and can't find them anywhere. I never thought to look in a pet store! I just got this today at Target Amazon.com: Oceans Friends Sprinkler: Sports... Cooper wasn't that interested, but I was able to throw a ball through it and keep him busy playing. Max enjoyed drinking from it and getting his head wet. It just hooks to a hose. It cost me $5 so i figured why not?

| My husband and I were walking last week and found a neighbor had thrown away a small hard wading pool. She babysits and we thought the kids were getting too big for the pool. We took it home, put water in it and Macy had a great time wading around. She hates a bath but will jump in and out of the pool and stand in it.

| The one at petsmart works perfect for my 4.5 lb Yorkie. here is the link if you wanna see it. Summer Escapes Poly Pool Pet Bath - Travel - Dog - PetSmart *The boxer in the pool is kind of big for the size of the pool, but for small yokies works perfect. |

| We just bought one from Dollar General for $8, my dogs don't actually play in the water, but they love to jump in to cool off when it gets hot and humid! Other wise they use the water bowls |

| I got mine from Babies R us for 4.00.. Although a large water bowl works for Tessa as you can see by my avatar. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | We have a pool and mine don't use it . They *love* lakes when we go up to Tony's parent's lake place - but a big no on the pool. Jackson looks like he's having a BLAST!
