Nikki+2 - thats exactly how my boys are, they think the pool is the greatest thing in the world. They LOVE it! splashing gets them more excited and they usually end up in the pool when they get splashed because they try to eat the water and fall in. (They are always supervised and wearing life jackets around the pool area.) The only time they ARE quiet is when they are actually swimming in the pool. LOL |
Mine have fallen in quite a few times as well. We don't use lifejackets but they are never, ever outside alone. My pool is a pet magnet. My grandmother's bird has fallen in, a friend's dog, and one of my mom's, and both of my mom's cats. Luckily they stay at the side and we just scoop them out. Mine haven't fallen in in over a year, knocking on wood.
