How many of you have a swimming pool for your baby? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

genie · 06-18-2007, 06:39 PM

Does anyone have a swimming pool for their babies? Do they like it? What kind is it? I bought a small inflatable one today and I will try it tomorrow. I saw one that was a little bigger but still inflatable and it had a slide an toys and animals at Wal-Mart but I decided to get the smaller one first to see if they would like it. Any pictures of your baby in swimming pool???

I haven't bought one yet, but I've been thinking about getting Jake a small pool because he seems to enjoy his bath since the weather has been hot here. I've seen several posts from people here who have pools for their yorkies, and they seem to love them.

I have a little hard-sided one (didn't want him popping it) and he's not a HUGE fan of the bath, but he likes to take a step in the pool when it's really hot and then get out. I think he's just getting used to it, and I think it'll be great for July. Definitely worth the whopping $8 I spent on it!

I have a small plastic one but it's the hard plastic. Spencer is still getting used to it. But he'll walk around in it and drink the water inside so hopefully he will get used to it and swim in it once.

I have thought about getting the tiny little hard sided one, too. We don't have a fenced in area, that is the only drawback. I think the pups would love it, though.

I don't have a fenced area either..I live in an apt. I just take him out sometimes and sit there (leash on) and let him run in it!

We are fortunate to have a l6 by 32 inground pool and my girls love it. Alyssa has enjoyed it every summer since we got her. I did not want to rush Emmy into trying swimming. Both girls will walk into the pool on a float and float around. Alyssa tries to bite the balls on the float line. She barks and gets all excited over that. Emmy walked in the pool and got on the float. She was bouncing around on the float and chasing the water as it came up on the float. Finally she bounced too far and fell off the backside of the float. She did not panic but started swimming. I quickly assisted her as I did not want her to panic. She loved it. When I put her out...she immediately jumped right back on the float and was ready to go again. Both of my girls love to swim and beg to go out there each day. It has been so hot and dry in North Georgia that a daily swim is almost necessary for them.

Last year we had an inflatable baby pool and towards the end of the summer it got a hole in it. Bubba kept trying to bring it to me to say there wasn't any water in it so this year a got them the rigid plastic one and it working out much better. It"s so funny all I have to do is turn on the hose and he jumps in and lays down. Sissy prefers to wait until her pool is prepared properly (princess!)

I have a little one ring pool for Oliver. He loves it. He even tries to put his face in. Otis is not a fan of the water. I took some pics last weekend but haven't loaded them yet!!!!

paulapoo · 06-19-2007, 07:12 AM

I found my cord, you can't really see it that well. The pool is only about 3 dollars. Well worth it. It was really hot over the weekend. This is my shih-poo Oliver!!!!!

maggie has a little kiddie pool. she didn't like it at first but we caught her in it a few times

JCarlson2004 · 06-19-2007, 07:38 AM

Every year I buy a new medium sized inflatable pool for them. I get a medium sized pool because I have 3 babies. They LOVE it, especially my Tia.

Rae Rae · 06-19-2007, 07:39 AM

We got a plastic one for Rocky last year, I actually think it's the same on that Pepe Mint posted. It's at my fiance's moms house so we gotta go pick it up.

tiggerr36792 · 06-19-2007, 07:41 AM

We have a kiddie pool thats hard plastic. They all seem to like it, but they sit there sometimes and look at me like they want me to come in and play with them,lol. We also have lots of water toys.
