Does anyone have a baby pool that their bully actually likes (pic)?

I bought Bubba a baby pool and he loves to sit it when there is no water in it.



I even bought him a floaty that he doesn't mind wearing.



But when I put water in the pool he will not get in. It was so hot here this weekend and he was panting so hard laying in the sun. I thought he would love to sit in the pool and be cool while still in the sun but when I did get him to go in, he just walked right out the other side. He loves to be outside but I don't think he quite understands what the pool is for. Any suggestions?

MoJo,Cody,Lord Beau Hawk..and Silent Pacer...

give the pool with water a 5 jif super sized jar ratings...and Church and Beanbag think it's a awesome water bowl...
however I think Bubba in the empty pool is one of the cutest pictures I've ever seen...smile....ce

Sound like the perfect man to me...

Of course the next man I marry must simply be able to walk on water. Ya see, I'm easy to please.LOL

Hee hee, great pics of Bubba! Have you tried

getting in the pool with him and bringing some of his favorite toys? Maybe if he sees you having fun in there with the water he'll get it and want to join in?!?

Kim, try just putting a few inches of water in at first

and if that don't work, just smear peanut butter on the bottom of the pool. But don't call me over to help clean off Bubba afterwards, tho I bet he will be one happy hound.

Thanx ladies, but I'm actually

pretty boring in real life. Don't smoke, don't do drugs, rarely drink, don't do much but work, movies, and bulldogs. If I do go to Vegas, y'all will probably throw me off the roof of the hotel.

Pepper loves her pool

I finally filled it up the other day, and she was so excited. Whether she stands in it, lays in it, drinks from it, or pees in it... it's all good!

On the other hand, Grady doesn't care for the pool at all. He won't get in on his own, and only uses it as a huge water bowl. Knowing that Pepper pees in it, and that the water gets gross so quickly, I highly discourage the drinking. Can't believe they don't mind the difference between the dirty pool water and their fresh, filtered water?

Try this...

Put only an 1-1/2" of water. Not too cold. Put toys and bones in the water. Play with the toys in the pool. Keep throwing the toys in the pool so the dog has to go in to get them. Gradually use deeper water. Some bully's love batting things with their paws under the water. Rugby used to dive for rocks in her pool for hours. I am a bad bully mommy! I did not realize how much the rocks have started to grind down her teeth! She doesn't chew on them. It was just from picking them up. Now we use kongs of all different sizes. They move funny under water like the rocks.

I too think Gary is very entertaining!!!

Ya gotta come to Vegas!!!

Gracie LOVES "her" pool!

Of course we bought it for our boxer Ally last year, but she's not all that interested in it. Gracie on the other hand thinks it's awesome. She'll get in it (with water), and run around the perimeter in circles while Ally circles the outside. The funniest thing is after I empty it and start dragging it around the side of the house to where we store it, she'll jump in it and sit down real quick, riding in it like it's a sled or something.

Unfortunately Gracie got in it without any water in it this weekend and proceeded to chew holes in the bottom on one side. Solution? We propped the leaky side up on a brick wall and just filled it up to the "bend", so now she's even got a slide!

Summer contest entry!

would make a great entry to the contest!

Madison loves hers!

I'll try and find a pic soon, but Madison loves her pool. Although she won't lay down in it, she loves to stand and play with her toys. However, at first she didn't. I got her used to it by standing in it with her and bringing some of her toys in there with us...a tennis ball...some things like that. We live in TX and the heat can be awful, so she only gets to go Swimming in the evenings but she loves it!

I'll work on digging up a pic. Good luck to you! Oh, by the way Bubba is very very handsome!


Have fun!
Kristen & Madison

I love that pic

Theo loves water any way he can get it, pool, sprinkler, bird bath, whatever. Try putting something he really likes in and get in with him, Theo loves that.

What a cutie!

I am in love with him! What a face!
My Snuggs also likes to have fresh water in her pool.She loves the water coming out of the hose and chases me around when I am trying to water.Heather

HA!

 How did this innocent cute as ever bully post turn into this? We better quit while we're ahead!

Love them Bullies!
Jamie

Well, to be honest

I prefer to get them out than in. But only so I can appreciate their minds more fully.

Shame shame Gary, always trying to get girls in their swimsuits!

Ha! I just had to say it, sorry

Love them Bullies!
Jamie

OMG...

I can't help with pool advice, but the picture of him with his floatie is soooo cute! I love it!

Just jump in with him. My mom had to do that with me

and once I saw her in there, I jumped right in! Plus she had lots of my favorite toys on hand and they got wet with me. Now I beg until I gets water in my pool.
