Thursday – A Little Personal – Tempeste takes a dive.

~ John W. Howell

So Tempeste, I’ve put water in the pool. Get in.”

“Let me take a look. Is Twiggy coming out?”

“Sure, go ahead. It’s just water. No Twiggy, she’d pass.”

“That’s okay. More room for me.  Let’s see what we have here.”

“Well?”

“Yup. It’s water for sure. Nice and cool too.”

“Do you want a toy?”

“Mmmm. I don’t think so. There is a leaf in here, and I think I will get it.”

“Why did you get out?”

“I think there should be a little more water in there. Seems pretty shallow.”

“Okay. Have a drink too.”

“This is cute, but I was thinking of way more water than this.”

“How’s that?”

“Now you’re talking.”

“Say when.”

“Yeah, I think that is enough.”

“What are you doing now?”

“What I always do. Testing the strength of the material.”

“Looks pretty strong to me.”

“Mmerfff. I agree. Not going to be able to tear this up today.”

“I don’t think you’ll be able to drag it either.”

“It does weigh a lot.”

“How about just playing in the water?”

“Yeah, sounds good. Watch me dive.”

  3. So Tempeste likes the water (a lot) but Twiggy doesn’t! Dot and Lia both don’t like the water. I ran a bath for myself this morning and they both ran and hid. Snuggles for Twiggy and Tempeste.

  13. Zeke used to love swimming – especially in rivers, lakes, oceans… and he loved when we took out the hose, too!

    Fun stuff. Go Tempeste! But don’t try to break your pool – what will you do for the rest of the summer if you kill it?

  20. Haha! This is fabulous, John. I laughed out loud at the first pic of Tempeste biting the pool. Pulling it and dragging it was icing on the cake. Oddly, I wasn’t surprised that Twiggy didn’t want to play in the water. Now I’m wondering why I had that reaction. I guess she just doesn’t have that “I’m gonna bite this water” vibe. 😀 Big hugs.

  21. It’s always important to test how sturdy something is. She did a good job. Hope both pups are staying cool. (Both humans too.) Belly rubs for the girls. Thanks for the smiles, John.

  22. You can’t say the girl doesn’t get her money’s worth! She can use a wading pool both as a source of refreshing exercise while at the same time treating it like a chew toy. She’s a beautiful multi-tasker, that Tempeste.

  25. Haha, with attacking your pool. Dogs are great fun to watch. One of our past dogs would get in his kiddie pool, lie on his side, and start dog paddling. It was pretty hilarious.

  27. It is great that Tempeste loves water. Our Leonberger loved water but our mini-Australian Shepherd Rollo, much less so. We tried to get him to swim in my in-laws pool a few times. We put a swim vest on him but he swims right back to the edge and gets out.

  34. Hey Tempeste, that pool sure looks tasty. I’m impressed how strong it is that you couldn’t bite through it. It mus be special for dogs.

    Why did Twiggy stay inside? Does she hate the water?

    Well, have lots of fun in your pool this summer!

    Hi to dad!

    1. Yes, the pool is made for kids, so I figured it would be easy peasy to bite through it. I was sure wrong. It is tough. Twiggy hates the water and didn’t even want to be outside to watch me. I will have fun this summer. Thank you, Miss Resa. Dad says Hi. 😊X

  37. Hilarious! I can’t believe she was trying to destroy the pool she seemed to like, Or, was it only because of the leaf? 🤣
