Spoiling my puppy

Moses, being a poodle, loves water. and playing in it. So this weekend dh and I bought him a small wading pool for the yard. It's about 4' across, maybe 8" deep, and looks like a huge yellow flower. LOL

We filled it and let the sun warm the water for him, then introduced him to it on Saturday. He drinks out of it frequently, and likes to stand in it and cool his toes.
I kinda wondered how dh would react when I suggested the idea, but he was cool with it thank goodness. I never planned on buying a kiddie pool at this age, but oh well. LOL

We haven't had a kiddie pool in a long time. My babies aren't outside that often, but maybe after we get the fence up. Now Penny our Golden loves the water, but we take her down to the creek and then hose her off when we get home. She loves to be able to swim.

Baby pools are so great for the pups in the summer heat! We did that last summer, and it was a big hit. They surely won't run out of drinking water with a dish that large!

I bet that Moses will really enjoy it when it's so hot this summer!!! I didn't realize that poodles were water dogs. I knew that labs were though. Mollee, our airdale, gets in the pond to cool off. She just goes out there and stands!

Poodles were originally gun dogs and may be seen occasionally in that role. The show clips evolved from working clips which were originally to provide warmth for major joints during duck hunts in cold water. The rest of the body is shaved for less drag in the water.
So what's seen as "poofy and showy" is actually very utilitarian. I've started to think Poodles are one of the best kept secrest in the dog world. There are so many things about them that I didn't know or misunderstood about the breed prior to having one.

I never knew that about poodles. My husband is a duck hunter. Do you suppose I could talk him into getting a poodle instead of a lab for a hunting dog?..........Naa!!!
