We filled the pool last week-end. Then there's the task of getting the winter cover off, cleaning out the pool and adding the opening chemicials. Truman has been sitting by the gate, staring wistfully at the pool.
Today I checked the water chemistry and everything was balanced so I let the kid in. He went tearing down to the pool steps and put on the brakes. He was trying to figure out how to get in. It's so different going into a pool vs. entering water from a shoreline. The front-end goes down on the first step and then there's the balancing act of getting those back feet into the water and kicking off into that water all at the same time.
Truman tried a couple of different things, slapped at the water with his front paws and even whined a little. Finally.....well I took pictures and put together a little slideshow so you could see.
