Friday Fetch: Dog Pool Float

dog pool float loungerThey don’t call it the dog days of summer for nothing! It’s scorching out there right now! That’s why if I had a pool I’d totally be begging mom and dad for one of these. Come to think of it, they might work out just great for floating down the Brandywine River too! Ooooooh Mom….

It’s made of Vinyl-coated fabric and nonporous foam with make it ultra-buoyant and strong. It’s also crafted with puncture-resistant, woven vinyl mesh that won’t stain, fade, or mildew. When dampened, it will keep your pet cool and relaxed. They come in a variety of colors and sizes.

Dirty Looks

We’re having a heatwave in Pennsylvania right now. Which means that Trooper and I (and the kitties) can be found trotting around the farm with our tongues hanging out….it’s that hot!

It’s so hot in fact, that our wrestling/play matches have mellowed greatly. Normally Trooper would give me this look and I’d make a B-line for his ankles – you know, to take him down for giving me dirty looks.

Instead I’ve had to resort to name calling, because wrestling in this heat just isn’t going to happen. Nana-a-boo-boo, stick you’re head in doo-doo!

P.S. a word to the wise, don’t resort to name calling unless you are fast as lightning like me – or it could end very very badly.

Canoeing down the Brandywine

After my big excursion to the Pocono mountains over the weekend I decided that I just couldn’t get enough of the water! So the next day me and Trooper decided to go for a canoe ride down the Brandywine River.

Believe it or not, this was my very first canoe ride! Trooper’s been a bunch of times without me (no fair), since the farm is within walking distance to the river.

Now I thought I liked boat rides, but canoeing is like loads of fun!

The best part about the canoeing, is that we got to stop and play in the water. Trooper even found a rope swing – which he attempted to swing on unsuccessfully. And I got to practice my underwater diving skills.

“Can we get back in the canoe? This is so much fun!”

In fact, I loved it so much, that mom let me climb to the VERY tippy top of the canoe. I was really feeling brave – so I DOVE off of the front and into the water for a swim. Seriously, I did that!

I had so much fun, that I’m already begging mom to take me back next weekend.

So, how about you? Any other canoeing dogs out there?
