Great Pressie from Dad; Ho Hum Pressie from Mom...

When Dad was working in Scotts Valley this week, he brought home a pawsome pressie for me! It came from this famous store in Santa Cruz.

I love my new surf shirt, Dad - thanks tons. Just in time too, cause check out this movie. There's quite a problem here.



Did you check out the bitey marks on the sides? Those were put there by my pal, Shanti, who gave me the pool a year or two ago. So Mom decided it was time to put in a new swimming hole for me.



As you can see, I'd rather beg treats from Sierra's mom than touch that new plastic pond.




Maybe I'll get used to it, but no matter what, I still love playing with my pal, Sierra, lots and lots. And maybe I won't like it - but it doesn't matter today, cause it's raining heehee!
Buckets... although you can't tell very much in this picture!
From Mom: Thanks so much to the MangoMom for telling me where I could find a pool like this.

Sam, it won't be long and you will be loving that pool. We had one like it with a slide too, but we aren't much for the water. Maybe you will like yours better if you chew a few holes in it like the old one - BOL.

Glad you found a new pool! Crazy water dog. I see your old one suffered a hull breach just like mine did. Those wal-mart ones usually make it through one season here. Good luck.

Hi Sammie:

You are gonna have a very fun time in that pool this summer. I wish I was there to play with you!

Kisses,

We are thinking that your momma should get into the pool and demonstrate to you how to splish and splash and do it on a Saturday Night!☺

Unknown said...

Aw...shame you're not so keen on your new pool, Sammie - maybe you just need a bit of time to get used to it! :-)

I have never had a pool like that - but I have to admit, I'm not really a water dog and don't like to get wet so even if I did, I probably wouldn't go near it!! :-)

Slobbers,

My crew hasn't had a new pool since we moved to the country--But I think if I get them a new one, they will be like you and learn to LOVE it, especially on a hot day!! :-)))

Sam said...

I definitely think that treats are better than a pool, but I sure do hope you get used to your new one! I'm sure you'll have just as much fun in it, or maybe even more!

ocmist said...

Grammy got us a pool like that last year, too! She quit filling it up, though a couple of months ago when we kept jumping in and it was all ice! She tended to gripe when we'd go and jump in, break the ice, get freezing wet and then come in while she was still asleep and jump on the bed to dry off... Don't know WHAT her problem is!?!

I love dogs and it doesn't take much to make me stop and take a look at them. This was a nice set of videos. I hope they both enjoy the what looks like a newer pool.
