My dog ate my pool

Meet Sam, he eats cars!

Wow! I wouldn't want to get on Sam's bad side.

I used to have labs. I quickly found out that they are part goat, part gopher. They will eat anything and dig holes to China. I've lost the wheels to my gas grill, 100 ft of extension cord, and a 50 ft garden hose to my dog.

Ha, I just dug 8 inch deep 24 foot round area to level my yard for the pool and I think I used half of it to fill in holes from the lab.

Boo and Ava are diggers too but would probably refuse to help me dig my pool. :|

Glad you fixed your pool.

Piffle. Dachshunds were bred to dig for badgers. Who do you think I used to dig my level area? :lol:

I tried to fill the holes in the girls' fenced in yard and quickly determined that I should have bought a bag of cement because they dug everything back out! Sooooooooo... I put a big rock in the hole up against the fence and they haven't bothered that hole for awhile! I have a few more rocks/coulders that need placed.

Holy Moly Sam, stop that! Cars are not your food!

Update: the dog ate the blue strap, and now there's a tooth-sized hole in the side of the pool. She was chewing on the thing that the strap goes through. It's about halfway down and under 2 feet of water. I can just go to Leslie's and get a patch that will work underwater, can't I? Really don't want to have to drain the pool. Any brand I should look for or avoid? Come to think of it, the pool came with an Intex patch kit too, but I don't know if it works under water, or if it's any good?

Thanks. I feel sorry for the dog. I shouldn't have thrown the gorilla tape at her...

Yes, you can use an underwater patch. Boxer 100 is a good adhesive.

 

[LS1M]

Where do you get Boxer 100?

Some welded wire and some sod staples will solve your problems....cut the grass short, place welded wire on ground, use sod staples to hold it there let grass grow tall again you'll never see it, and they won't want to dig there....people also use chicken wire attached to the bottom of their fence coming back into the yard a few feet under the ground cover (pine straw, mulch, leaves etc.)

Boo ate the water meter off the side of the house recently .... water co informed us that the meter wasnt reading. He said, I see the problem .... I said, I know who did it!
