The “Pool”

Benjamin and Henry

Benny's birthday inspired us to take a trip down memory lane and look at some of the pictures of the boys when they were pups. When we came across this picture we were beside ourselves with laughter.

When we lived in MD, we frequently went to G-Ma & G-Pa's house. G-Ma always had new toys and treats each time the pugs came to visit. One time, she was so excited because she got the pugs a small, blow up pool that she thought would be a perfect way for the pugs to cool off a bit after they got done chasing each other around the tree. She thought it would be great because the pugs would be able to jump in and out, splash around and keep cool.

When we arrived we headed out to the yard and she proceeded to get the pool out of the packaging and blow it up. Well, we were all in stitches when the awesome pool turned out to only be about 12 inches in diameter. A closer look at the packaging revealed that it was some sort of Barbie Doll pool.

The boys were still super excited that G-Ma had gotten them a new toy. To them, it was the best outdoor water bowl they ever had!

A Barbie pool?  How funny.  And yes, I can see the pugs using it as a big water bowl.  Thank you for sharing that memory.

I can understand why everyone would be in stitches over this. Looking at Benny and Henry (or any animal) is a great way to start off the day.

Nice going with the water bowl G-Ma!!!  Pugs are thirsty animals by nature and this will be helpful in keeping us hydrated.

Benny seems to be saying something that probably shouldn’t be repeated.  And just look at how dark the markings on Henry.  This is a great photo.

Sue praying for you. Know how hard this time can be.

LOL-they seem to be wondering if the giant that owned the pool is looking for HIS watering hole. Pug hugs witha special pug hug to Sue VDB from the Colorado 4

Lol. I too purchase one of these pools for Lilo at the dollar store but they were just plain yellow and blue. Same result too! Biggest water dish she ever saw. She’s not the biggest fan of water in the first place. She thinks it’s only good for drinking!
