What a Day

Here is the gallery.

The pool was opened bright and early. It was my day off and no longer my day off. You see Hazel abover jumped - yes jumped in the pool and so did Coco. So, I washed them and then while running an adult dog fell in - not intentionally so I washed him too. We are always out with the dogs so we see it all but I think Coco won't jump in again unless invited but Hazel.... well she is a mischevious soul and she is going to enjoy swimming this year. We should have kept her. LOL Rain and Hope looked and said - I don't think so. 

So, usually when you have a day off, Nathan would have washed the dogs but he doesn't do that anymore. It is all me. So when I announced I am changing my day off at 1st they balked but I won out cause really... 3 dogs when you were supposed to have none? Then laundry - then pads. I need to go out for my day off as it's not really a day off, is it.

I am now changing the pool cleaner every hour and a half as it needs it. The pool cleaner gets so full it stops. Nathan says it is too heravy and Dennis ignores so guess who will have the pool cleaned. I am laughing.

Dogs loved looking at the water. The adults that are ours live to swim but know not yet.

Tomorrow Tenshi goes home and it is her human's birthday tomorrow so I made a nice memory gift for her and will be washing Tenshi before she departs. Happy Birthday, Sylvia!

Pablo, Gus and Shlomo is coming tomorrow. We will see if Gus the pup goes into the pool. We are hoping not. 

It was a great day for the dogs despite the few that needed baths. They loved the weather. 10 years ago it was in the 70s according to Facebook and we swam. Not today. The pool is actually 68f which is an all time high without heating it yet. 

Now I need to head out and do the pool cleaner thing. 

Happy Passover for all that celebrate. May you enjoy your sedar.

Do not worry about it. Pups will be pups. At least we know she is a strong swimmer.
