The “Pool”
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.
