Water gun won't work... they LOVE the water. They are in the pool all the time or chasing the hose water when its on. 10 mins after we opened the pool friday night they were in the lime green water (it was safe, just off color, the kids were in with them)! LMAO! I cannot believe these are MY boys! Last year the pool scared them to death for a month at least! Guess I'll try pennies in a can.
My boys get out everyday, at bfs house they are never inside. You know at the end of the day I have to carry them to bed they are sooo wiped out they cannot keep their little eyes open. I don't know where the energy comes from that keeps them barking for hours. They bark the most when the kids jump in the pool, run around the pool, or splash at them (they LOVE when they do that and try to eat the water and usually just end up jumping in after them). Just like I don't expect the kids to be calm I don't expect my boys to be calm when there is excitement around them, but I do need the barking to be curbed a bit.... will be a long summer if they don't stop barking and have to spend more time indoors than I want them to.
