Frenchies and Swimming Pools

The Kiddie pool was a hit with Ozzy!!! He'll be jumping in and out by the end of the day...

Lucky!! I got a pool for Jax when he was a puppy and he wouldn’t go near it.

Cute picture! We have a pool for Buster and Ruggles that has pictures of fish on the bottom and sides. Buster keeps digging at the fish to get them to play with!

Oh boy, I'd love to see a video of that!

I was actually thinking of buying a kiddie pool today for mine, but am leaning towards "no" since we are still dealing with her paw situation. And I was wondering about the ears too. I've been told to keep them dry, so obviously splashing in the pool would be the opposite of that...is that a problem for anyone's Frenchies? I am so grateful to be down to only ONE health issue right now and don't really want to play with fire and invite an ear infection or something if her ears get wet. Is that a thing? Or am I being ridiculous?

We haven't had a problem with Buster's bat ears--they seem to get plenty of air, but Ruggles' ears fold over and we have to clean them periodically.

OK, thanks much, Alice Kable!

Much like the cooling pad I was the only one that would use the small pool I bought.:no:

I think the sides were too high though so I might look for a smaller one. Although I'm afraid Wally will treat it like his personal toilet.

We inherited a pool with our "new" house last year. I told Bambi when it gets to 84, we're strapping on her vest and she is going in. To me, 84 is like bath water. Highest I've been in is 82, and that is warm.
