when it's 30+ degrees outside. Bought her a little pool but will not go in it. Any suggestions as to how to coax her in. Used her toys etc but no luck. thank goodness for air conditioning.

Has always been a water bullie. I would just get into it myself. Lol can you pick her up and put her into it. Or maybe stand her by it and wet her down to let her see how refreshing it is?

We first put in his toys (no water), then once he was comfortable jumping in and out--we then added about an inch of water. He pretty much got ti after that. Jax uses ours more than Ozzy, but Oz will go in and get his paws wet.

Well, Ruby LOVES the hose. So I aim the hose into the pool and in she goes. She lso sloves to play with a Kong (heavy) ball in there. It doesn't float so she bats it around...although today she got gutsy and stuck her face in and came out with the ball. So that trick looks to be used up for us. The other thing I did was throw some pieces of her food in the pool. She bobs around for them like a kid bobbing for apples. Just some thoughts. **and thank you for the email response yesterday!!**
I had no problem my loulou

She is just gorgeous!
I am going to love watching that little beauty mature and grow...
I had no problem with Sophie in the water. But she was older when I introduced her to it. Not sure that makes a difference or not.

So cute
I'm sure she will have the confidence soon. =)
Stella never liked the water
We even bought her her own cottage, with a lake and everything, and she would go anywhere near the water. Bath time was a challenge...
AC was the only solution for her.
Precious!
PollyAnna never liked her pool either. Olive though is different. She took to it like a cat to catnip.
