I was wondering who else has a little pool for there babies or even a big pool

? I had to buy Callie a new little doggie pool at petsmart because her old one was kinda gross. I also for myself have a nice size blow up pool that when I sit on my butt in it the water comes up to my chest and Callie can actually swim in that one and its so cute to watch

Ya know, I was considering investing in some sort of pool for Jackson at our regular house we live at. My dad has a big inground pool (10 feet, I think) so he loves visiting over there and going swimming! I don't have one over at our house though, and he loves to sit in the baby pools to cool off in the summer, so I was thinking about buying just a little baby pool he could do that in.

You have got to look at the video of Jackson's (Britster) Memorial Day vacation video. Jackson is having so much fun in the pool at his gradfather's house. It will make you want to buy a pool, for sure!

No sure what mine would do....thought about it.

I saw the Jackson video and now plan to go get a little pool like that this week, it looks like he was having so much fun, I think my two would like it as well!

we have a big one. My girls dont like it much.. I put them in it just to make sure they know how to get out.

My lil one scares me the most because her legs are so short. I have an baby fence made for the pool installed and they can not get in there without me putting them in there.

They would much rather be in bed in the A/C..lol

I had a blow up pool for grandkids on my deck - just 5 feet diameter, and Mr. Darcy would go in to 'rescue' the rubber duckies! Now this summer I got a 6-1/2 diameter pool with rigid sides, although they are kind of floppy, they are too tall for Mr. Darcy and Lizzie to get into, so I am debating getting another small pool for them, or a little stool so they can get in bigger pool - I know they can jump back out of it.

I want to reiterate this point. Please, if you let your dog use your pool, you need to make sure they know how to get out. This is how dogs drown. They may jump or fall in when you have your back turned and if they don't know how to get out, they will quickly tire and drown.

I bought a kiddie pool for my 2 a few weeks ago. Oliver would have nothing to do with it, but Mya liked it. I would throw toys and balls in there and off she'd go to get them. It was hilarious watching Oliver, he really wanted to steal those toys back but would not go in that pool, no way, no how. lol. Because we have little grass it made for a big mess, so we won't be doing that much.. just when it's really hot. When I get my own house, we're getting a pool for sure - thinking Mya will love it.

I have been wanting to find a pool for my little pups to play in this summer.

My Pomeranian loves to play in the water when I am watering flowers and our garden area.

Not sure about my Yorkie if she will love playing in the water or not.

I have thought of getting a little sprinkler for them to run around and play in also.

I am hoping Petsmart still has the little pools. I saw these a few months ago. Cost ALOT less there than other places for the same size pool.

Joan I think there is no danger of your kidz drownding in their pool!

We use a small plastic pool that I bought at WalMart. We cut one side down and dremmeled it smooth. This way my baby can get in and out on his own. I only will hold about three inches of water because the side is cut four inches up from the bottom. Pistol loves it . He will take toys in there and play or sometimes if it is low in water, maybe an inch or two in there he will lay down or sit down. Especially if it's really hot out.
