it may not even count...but I TOTALLY want to buy a little kiddie pool for my boys this summer...we finally own a house, and we finally have our own yard! which equals kiddie pool I think :) (i'm thinking we won't be telling daddy when we go out to get it, either, hehe) |
Thaniks. Marley and Lily love love love their baby pool I wish I could afford a real pool, but until the lottery hits, they do not know the difference.......LOL |

2 Attachment(s) I agree that you have to be VERY careful with Yorkies (or any small breed) in a pool, but mine love to swim. They especially like getting on a raft and floating around in the water with me. :D Here are two of mine and my mom's Yorkie and her Shih Tzu mix in the pool on our Florida vacation last year. They all loved to run around the edges of the pool and chase each other, and my little one DeDe slipped and fell in the pool at one point. Even though she had been swimming earlier and does it well, she panicked and was frantically turning circles because the fall shocked her and she was far away from the steps. I was right there to grab her though within 10 seconds, but I can only imagine what might have happened if I hadn't been there. I also have a pond in my backyard and when they're outside playing a couple of them like to try and sneak in. I NEVER let mine around water without being right there with them...heck I don't even let mine outside period without me right with them. Yorkies have that terrier personality in them tucked away, so if they can get into it...they will! I don't trust mine at all...;) |
Phoebe just took her first swim this weekend! We have a Dachshund that lOVES to swim. In fact, he leaps off the fountain half way across the pool. Poor Phoebe was left inside to watch so we decided we would give her a try. She absolutely loved it! I was a nervous wreck though.:eek: My son was in the pool with his hand under her, and I was outside the pool holding on to the leash. We live in Florida and it's going to get hot so I want her to enjoy the pool with all of us but...I NEVER LET HER IN THE POOL AREA UNSUPERVISED!!! I say as long as your baby likes it, be watchful and go for it!:D |
For a smile - NOT A yorkie but talk about having the time of his life ! warning - this is showing an unsupervised dog - but it will make you smile I take it back - someone had to video this ! |

I was just curious the chemicals from the pool do not bother them ???? |
I know that my eyes can get irritated after going swimming so I wonder if they feel the same. Good question about the chemicals. I guess I would use the Vet Solutions ear cleaner after he came out to dry up water in his ears. I think that even with supervision a life jacket is a must. At least for us anyway. Besides, they have the cutest styles! |

Just make sure your baby can tolorate the chlorine. |
I bought a baby pool for cooper and he tried to swim in it, however the water was only about 6" high. I decided to go to Walmart and buy one of those rubber pools. It's 8' round and about 3' deep. The whole setup cost less than $50. He loved the pool so much, we had to put a little fence up for security purposes. Need I say more? Now, he sits and cries at the fence because he wants to go swimming so badly. Check out the video! |
Swimming Miss Bella loves the pool we have a special toy that when we throw it in she will dive in and get it and swim to the steps and come on out. If toy is not in she does not try. Mind you we are in the pool also she is not alone..!! Now Jack is another thing he won't go in he would rather play in the water hose or the water sprinklers. which he is doing right now.(ha) Love Cheryl |

You really should try it. It comes with a filter, but I actually had to purchase a better filter. You have to maintain it like a real pool, but believe me, it's so worth it! |
We just bought a house and it has a pool...I am so excited to be able to bring them into the pool!! Debating life jackets. I NEVER plan on leaving them alone in the pool, but I think it would be cute and doubly safe. |

Thank you! He absolutely loves swimming. Here is the Walmart link if anyone wants to check out the pool http://www.walmart.com/ip/8-x-30-Swimming-Pool/13032426 |
I can tell! Mine love it too. I'm afraid of the bigger pool as I don't have an area to fence it off..so I guess I'll stay with the wader.........but ..I just loved the video! |
Oh Xaleia, i have such a make-shift backyard! I installed that ridiculous fence myself so that Cooper would be safe. It's so hideous but it protects him. I never even thought that he would have been able to jump that high... |
Well he is a doll baby. So you have to use chemicals and such in that pool? |

Mr. B loves the pool, but he gets tired easily so you really need to watch your little one at all times. And be careful if you have a liner there nails can put a whole in the pool liner! |
I have a question - is it okay for dogs to swim in a chemically treated pool (one with chlorine and whatever else)? What if they swallow some of the water? Is it dangerous in small amounts? |
