Swimming pool?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Jennxling · 06-02-2011, 05:49 PM

Boy, it's getting how as summer is approaching and I really want my babies to play in the water so they can enjoy summer

Did anyone here buy a pool for their baby? Any suggestions? Bf is thinking this one

ehh, me not so much....

So, I thought I'd come here to hear fellow YTer's suggestions.

It was in the 90's a few days ago here in Michigan. ZoE was outside with me (sitting in the shade) while I was planting flowers. When I sprayed the hose, she went nutz trying to run through it. (she loves having a bath) So took a lid to a storage tote & filled it with water (less than an inch deep...lol), but she had such a great time paddling in it

.

I'm looking for a small pool for her too! I'm looking for something hardsided because blowup pools puncture too easily.

I've posted this a lot lately, hehe... but here I bought this pool for Jackson (ha- I WISH! It's my dads pool).

But he also loves the baby pools some of my relatives have. They have them at Kmart for like $12.

Couver loves swimming so we've been thinking about getting a kiddie pool for them. I would advise getting once that you don't have to inflate. I think that they would pop an inflatable one pretty quickly?

I got a hardsided kiddie pool at Petsmart for like 10 bucks.

Princess10 · 06-02-2011, 06:20 PM

With the way Princess digs up her water like a maniac I think she'd love a little pool.
I just have a small balcony so I think I'm actually buying an under the bed storage container.

It's a good size & shallow enough to get in & out of. It'll also be easy to fill as I don't have a hose, yet wont be too heavy to empty, etc.
I've been looking for a pool for a long time with no luck.

I've been looking for one of these and can't find them anywhere. I never thought to look in a pet store!
I just got this today at Target

Amazon.com: Oceans Friends Sprinkler: Sports... Cooper wasn't that interested, but I was able to throw a ball through it and keep him busy playing. Max enjoyed drinking from it and getting his head wet. It just hooks to a hose. It cost me $5 so i figured why not?

You and I are in very similar situation! We also have a small balcony and no hose too. haha I guess we will be shopping for one at a good deal. Glad I asked YTer's though because now I know no inflatable ones

I will post pictures when I get one. It'll be Carmel and Emma's first time in a "swimming pool"...they've never swam. I'm too afraid to let them into public water, such as lakes.

My husband and I were walking last week and found a neighbor had thrown away a small hard wading pool. She babysits and we thought the kids were getting too big for the pool. We took it home, put water in it and Macy had a great time wading around. She hates a bath but will jump in and out of the pool and stand in it.

The one at petsmart works perfect for my 4.5 lb Yorkie. here is the link if you wanna see it.

*The boxer in the pool is kind of big for the size of the pool, but for small yokies works perfect.

Lovetodream88 · 06-03-2011, 05:58 AM

I got a hard one from petsmart last year and i think it was $9.

francis53 · 06-03-2011, 06:18 AM

We just bought one from Dollar General for $8, my dogs don't actually play in the water, but they love to jump in to cool off when it gets hot and humid! Other wise they use the water bowls

lmperez · 06-03-2011, 06:23 AM

I got mine from Babies R us for 4.00.. Although a large water bowl works for Tessa as you can see by my avatar.

I got one like that last year and Sophie just stood there like I was nuts and then jumped out.

I still have it so I will try again this year.

Wylie's Mom · 06-03-2011, 06:35 AM

We have a pool and mine don't use it

. They *love* lakes when we go up to Tony's parent's lake place - but a big no on the pool.

Jackson looks like he's having a BLAST!
