Mickey hasn't learned to swim yet but he enjoys being out by the pool:[attachment=0:2ly091j0]MickeyPool3.jpg[/attachment:2ly091j0]

This silly squirrel has been getting drinks out of our pool for the past month. Funny, when we were using Baquacil, no animals wanted to drink out of our pool. Now we can't keep this squirrel out of there.[attachment=0:2vtusj4z]SillySquirrel.jpg[/attachment:2vtusj4z]

Does he swim?

From what we have read in the past, pigs are good swimmers, however they tend to panic in the water and drown trying to get out.
He has never been in the pool, but has followed me into the stream in our front yard, towards the end of summer the water is low and just his belly gets wet.

are you sure it's a "he"?

looks like a "she" from here :-D

 

[Marillion Fan]

Yes, Wilber is most certainly a he. :-D

She thinks the only reason we get in the pool is to throw her ball to her.

Total concentration

The steps are as far in the pool as she will go. Umbrella required to keep the sun off as she rests.

Only one week remains in the contest! You need to submit your photos by the end of July, this coming Friday night!

Remember, photos will be judged in four categories: best photograph, cutest pet, most exotic pet, and ?!?!?. Some of those categories still only have one or two plausible candidates.

Okay, not sure if I'm eligible?

My pup Bandito:

"Go!"....

Our Dog Jimmie and Cooper. The dog in the water is Jimmie. Cooper wont come close. Scared as all heck of water!

Frustratedpoolmom, I think you should be eligible. If I remember the rules, the members will be voting; so they can decide if you should win. Besides, its not like there is a huge monetary reward involved. I don't see why anyone should have objections. Just my opinion.

This is not really a pet, but sorta exotic. Does anyone know what kind of snake it is?

Looks like just a common corn snake.

Max is my wifes pet, he a six month old German Sheppard puppy, a real pistol, and a good swimmer...

Our Labs love to be in the pool. We often have the neighbor's dogs over for "Lab Chaos" time.

There's also a video posted on Vimeo: Labs in the Pool

Here's mine, the left is Sadie and on the right is Greison. Sadie likes to be on the deck, neither seem to want to go in the pool as of yet. The deck is new this year so they have not had this view of the pool for long.

I agree, great camera work! Every digital camera I have ever used has a delay, making it very hard to get a good action shot. Oh yeah, nice looking Labs!
