Here we are waiting so impatiently in the house for the pool to fill up. We had to wait for almost 2 hours! It was really killing us seeing it fill up so sloooooowly. And what's worst was, Melissa was teasing us by jumping into the pool & splashing about. We were very unimpressed by that.
Didn't I tell ya that it is MEGA huge? It is 96" in diameter & 18" in height. It's almost as tall as Faith, our spotted sister!
Finally the gate was opened but no, we weren't allowed to charge out & leap into the pool just yet. We had to do some obedience 1st. Here we are waiting for Melissa to give us the release command.
Finally! WOOH so many toys!!
Don't we all look cute together?
Noticed the spotted one is always at the back? We Goldens don't really play with her & neither does she want to play with us. She often plays alone or with her imaginary friend.
These were the last 2 pictures taken before the catastrophe happened.
Okay, now let me get back to what actually happened. Do any of you still remember the previous catastrophe that happened while we were playing in our other, smaller foldable pool? Well yes, history repeated itself! But this time, the pool didn't explode. River & Megan climbed out of the pool & accidentally pushed down the sidewall. TONS of water started gushing right into the house, almost reaching the kitchen that was 20 feet away. Water was everywhere! Under the couch, cabinets, piano & electrical wiring & plug points.
Thank goodness nothing is damaged but my hoomies had a fantabulous time sweeping all the water out of the house & moping the place dry. We on the other hand were still having a ball outside in the porch but in the end, our fun was cut short. We were NOT happy about that I can tell you this! What made us even more upset was, we had to get blow dried after that. Ugh!

That is a lot of water in the pool... and i can imagine all the water gushing into the house...
ReplyDeletebut...

Aww...yah, you all look really cute together and what fun in the pool!! Sorry bout that accident but Hey!! they happen!! BOL

That's such a cool pool that I hope you all get to go in it again - just get your humans to put a few sand bags at their door to stop any more floods!
ReplyDeleteWoofs,
Riley
Oh noooo! I can't imagine how sad you were when the pool exploded! I think you need to get a hard plastic pool like my turtle pool. Eh, it may be a tad on the small side, but there won't be any explodin' goin' on!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time while it lasted, though! :)
Woofs & hugs,
~Bailey
That sure is a gigantic pool! Your hoomie Melissa is one of the wonderful hoomies that I've ever heard of. She knows how to make you all happy and she loves every bit of you. You guys are so lucky to have her.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind playing in the pool but I don't like being blow dry either.
Oh dear, Amber-Mae - that DOES sound like a huge mess! I can't imagine how much water there must have been...a HUGE FLOOD!!
ReplyDeleteBut I have to say, looking at the earlier pictures of you guys enjoying yourselves in that fantastic pool - it was sure worth it!! :-)
Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
O no, water all through your house! Your poor human having to clean it up!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had a fabulous time playing in the water - which we would expect, you being retirvers and all!
We did not know you had a spotted sister, is her imaginary friend a spotted one?
Licks and lots of slobber,
Lexi and Jasper the Danes
Well, we think it was very generous of you to make sure your humans got cooled off too, and the house as well! Maybe next one, they need to get you a pool with rigid sides!
ReplyDeleteThose are GREAT photos! The ones of all of you in the pool are so much fun! Too ad about the spotted one, though...
Woofs,
Tommy
They look soooooo cute together! Sorry about all that water though!
ReplyDeleteYour pool looks awesome... the weather these days have been scorching hot and my mom says it'd be lovely to have a pool like that where she can stay inside the whole day (and end up looking like a prune??).
ReplyDeleteOOps... sorry to hear about the 'flooding' and all the work your hoomans had to do to clean up. Heehee...
What a wonderful way to cool down - but don't you have a grass area where you could put the pool so you didn't have any problems with it flooding?
ReplyDeleteAnd what is this about leaving the Spotted one out of your play sessions - Spotted dogs unite - I will be her buddy!!
Oops, time to relocate that fun pool. We can just imagine the fun you can all have together in the pool - we used to have a small one but that was before TD and Ciara were here. Maybe we should get the Momster to get a new one.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you can't get another spotted pal for the cutie in the back. Bet she would like that.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
I says...Hey Accidents Happen!!!!
ReplyDeleteButt...I bet my Mom and Dad wouldn't look at it like this! BOL
Well it was FUN... while it lasted. RIGHT?
ReplyDeleteMEOWZA, what a great pool!!!!! We hope the catastrophe will be quickly forgotten by your humans and that you will get to spend tons of time in your pool.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice pool and it got to be huge for you guys. What fun! Our human has always wanted to get us one but we don't have such space. Anyway, sorry about the accident. Luckily nothing is spoiled.
ReplyDeleteEcstasy and tragedy...all in one day!!!
ReplyDeletehuge pool! i can imagine the water! so sorry to hear about your accident but we're sure glad you had 'fun' cleaning up. you did, right? ;p
ReplyDeleteOh no, not a flood! I am glad there was no damage!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
you sure do know how to throw a party!

Sometimes when we have so much fun there ends up a mess....that certainly looked like FUN to me!
ReplyDeleteToo Cute! I love that picture of all of you in the pool looking at the camera! I think you need to put that pool in the neighbors yard so that when you spill some it will go into THEIR house!! LOL
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks like tons of funs while it lasted! My Mommeh would have screamed if all that water came flooding into the house!
ReplyDeleteAnd dis is why doggies should nevers get in pools...they explode and then you has to be blowed dried...hehehe! But, I has to say I am impressed withs your obedience.
ReplyDeletePuddles
What an amazing pool. I need to show my humans but need to delete the last part of your adventure first. She will never get me one of those reading about the water accident...
ReplyDeleteOh no Amber, that IS a catastrophe, we thought that might be what happened! Fab photo of you all in the pool, hope that's not the end of you water adventures, not that we understand but our human who used to be owned by a retriever tells us that's what you love best in life! Dex & Lou x
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hope that doesn't keep your people from filling up the foldable pool again. You pups looked like you were having such a great time! No pictures of the catastrophe????
ReplyDeletePedro
You all look like you had a blast! Sorry to hear about the catastrophe! I hope you get to have another pool party soon!
ReplyDeletePlay bows,
Zim
What a fun pool party! We are going to have to give that a try sometime! But we will make sure the pool is far away from the house to prevent any flooding:)Glad nothing got ruined from the tidal wave!
ReplyDelete***majors in the states are are shows that are worth 3 or more points. Each state has a point schedule so the amount of dogs needed to make a major can vary but for our state we need 7 dogs to make a 3 point major and I think 9 dogs to make a 4 point major. There is a different point scale for bitches. Does that makes sense?
hey Amber,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pawsome pool! It is so big! I can see that you pups had a blast while it lasted! All of you look so cute in the pool together. I hope the side can be fixed up so you can enjoy your pool again.
I feel sad for the spotted one. :-< She should have a friend who is not imaginary.
Suka
Uh oh... no more pool parties!
ReplyDelete- Charlie
Looks like awesome fun... I hope I get over my water phobia and can join my fur siblings in the pool soon!!
ReplyDeleteAROOOF!

Oops about the water, but at least you got to have fun and the floors got a nice clean right? BOL!

ReplyDeleteHey Amber!
ReplyDeleteWow, you all look so cute! I bet that pool was a blast...right up until it died a watery death. Maybe next time it ought to be out in the yard and away from the house. Sure looked like fun!!

We had one of those pools exactly ONCE!! We played, we splashed, we cooled off, and then someone (Gizmo) leaned on the side. Same thing, though not in the house!!
ReplyDeleteYou're ALL so beautiful together!!
-Rottie Kisses
Nice pool, you'll need a slide and some fruity drinks and it'll be just like paradise.
ReplyDeleteThose are some fun pictures, and everyone was so well behaved! Water, toys, friends... sounds perfect! Well, accept for that flooding the house part. :(
ReplyDeleteThat pool must've been a golden's dream!! Sorry about the catastrophe - as soon as I read that, I knew what had happened. I am so glad nothing was ruined though!
ReplyDeleteA catastrophe indeed.
ReplyDeleteGail is saying she's so pleased that I'm not a water loving dog!
Toodle pip!

That my doggie friends was a mega mess. OMC my mom would have freaked out. I hope nothing was ruined.

ReplyDeleteThat water is much cleaner than my lake right now. I bet you could even drink it.
wow it looked so inviting. I wonder if My Vickie will get me a pool.
Bert
Oh, but you all looked so happy in there. :( (I would need to put that pool waaaayyy away from my house, but then, it would be too hot to get in.) Sorry about all the mess. :(
ReplyDeleteOMC, what great pics! You are all so cute together!

ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the water everywhere though - at least you had a great time before it happened !
Talk to you soon,

ReplyDeleteholy schmolly you caused a tidal wave? oh no.. that pool pawtee looked like so much fun. Next time call me.
ReplyDeletenorwood
Clearly your humans are missing the real catastrophe - the drying!!
ReplyDeleteI can see how a drop or two of water could be tolerated, but drying? No way!
Happy Sunday woofs & hugs, friends!!
ReplyDelete~Bailey
Those are adorable photos - we are sorry you had a flood though! The things we do for our pups!
ReplyDeleteMake sure you guys play with your spotted sis - she does look a little lonely!
Sam
What pawty in the pool! Great pictures! You look so cute together! Sorry about that accident!
ReplyDeleteThor and Jack
Oh, what a sad end to your wonderful fun. I sure hope your humans will fill the pool again.
ReplyDeleteHow about putting something in the pool itself - for instance, a set of metal steps with rubber caps on the bottom of the legs so they won't go through the floor of the pool - and another set of steps outside at the same spot.
You dogs are so well trained I reckon you could easily manage climbing up the steps and over the edge to the other set outside the pool.
So sorry that this pool bit the dust as well. We bet it was fun while it lasted.
ReplyDeleteBarbara is not the one coming to judge your competition (and we can't wait to see your routine) but she would have loved to have met you and your Melissa.
Your friends,
Niamh & Ambrose
Hilarious, Amber! The "play by play" of each moment had me on the edge of my seat, really! I loved every picture and I especially got a kick out of seeing all of the toys and the fact that all of you waited so patiently before playing in the pool! I hope the catastrophe doesn't mean you'll never play in the pool again!
ReplyDeleteOh, I guess you heard the news before I could get to you....you won the SILLY SATURDAY PHOTO CAPTION CONTEST! Yippee-kai-yay! I have no idea how much it will cost to mail your gift all the way to Malaysia but don't worry, your gift will arrive but you have to send me your address furst! My email address is misskitty32504(AT)yahoo(DOT)com!
Glad you had fun, but sorry about the mess. Maybe you need a different kind of pool. How bout if you dig one? All those paws will make short work of it! lol!
ReplyDeletepuppy kisses,
Tanner
You guys looked like you had a blast! I myself, refuse to go into a pool! Sorry about the catastrophe but glad the house was okay!
ReplyDeleteI also so your post on your wins! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

That picture of all of you in the pool looking at the camera is absolutely priceless. Sorry to hear about that pool accident! I'm sure it wasn't fun for the humans, but I'm glad you guys had fun before disaster struck.
ReplyDeleteI love the group photo in the pool. They are so cute and attentive.
ReplyDeleteHow much fun!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutley adorable pictures! What a funny story. I hope your next pool experience is less catastrophic.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a huge pool! Super envious!!!
