Dog Days of Summer

As the hottest days of summer are here, we're not the only ones going to the pool to cool off from the hot sun, especially the Florida sun. Dogs are also diving into the action too. Fortunately not head first into something they might not be sure of.  Here we have Honey, a 7 year-old border collie who just got tired of being in the heat and the fans just couldn't keep up. So her owners got her a nice, cute kiddy ( well not kitty, she would have chased it off) pool from the local Walmart to help her cool down during these hot times of the year.
After filling up the new pool and putting it on the back porch, Honey looked at it with awe and shock. At first, she didn't know what to think of it. In fact she just laid right next to the thing, unsure of what it's purpose it. As far as Honey was concerned,  she thought it was just a giant water bowl on her porch. After a few weeks of this, she finally figured out how to use the pool or in her world, a weird pink thing full of water. And here a generous Barkly Times viewer contributed to our website by submitting this picture of Honey chilling in the pool and she seems like she's really happy to be in the pool. Now all of the neighborhood dogs are jealous and they keep trying to sneak into the pool. I guess that made her cooler. Well don't say that to the cool cats. They will tell you otherwise. Fortunately for Honey, there's a fence around her yard ( Honey sees it as her territory) and in turn, protecting her pool from all the dogs who might be brave enough to try to swim in her pool.
