Now, he sits and cries at the fence because he wants to go swimming so badly. Check out the video!

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?

I didn't realize when I bought the pool that I had to use chemicals until I went away for a weekend and came home to a green, algae filled pool! I used very little chemicals and never put Cooper in the pool the same day.

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?

I personally have never had an issue with Cooper. I've always used small amounts of chlorine and never put him in the pool same day as treatment. You also should be testing the chlorine levels to make sure they are not too high. I'm going to google right now to see if there is a more solid answer.

This is common sense I suppose http://dogtime.com/dogs-chlorine-dan-lauridia.html

He is still very young NatNatt. I would get a kiddie pool and put some water in it... under supervision only!

We sometimes let our babies in the pool in summer and they like it (though they like a lake much better). Be sure to bathe them after a pool bc of the chemicals

I love it! Deb (bchgirl) told me about it. I got mine on sale - so inexpensive. And any little critter can get out of your pool, theoretically, should they fall in (mouse, squirrel, lizard, dog, cat, etc).
