Swimmin in a REAL pool! *65 pics*

[Kfamr]

We went to my grandparent's today for dinner, a bunch of the family were over.

Nala, my cousin, and I stayed outside and went swimming most of the day.
This was Nala's first time in a real pool. She wouldn't get in at all.. I kept trying to get her in.
Finally, I jumped in and she jumped in RIGHT after me and swam to me. she couldn't swim well, but by the end of the day she was swiming nicely!
She could even touch the bottom on her hind legs in the shallow end which is 3-4 feet deep.
After we got done swimming I gave her a bath then all three of my grandma's dogs baths.
Nala slept on the way home, and it was her first time being in my mom's new car.

Anyways, here are the pictures. I'll post picture of my grandma's pups later.

Awwww so cuuuute!:D I love the pics of Nala standing in the pool:)

Thanks for sharing!

[countrycowgirl]

AWWWW....WHAT GREAT PICS!!!!!! ....NALA YOU ARE SUCH A PRETTY GIRL AND SIMBA YOU ARE JUST TO HANDSOME!!!:D :)

[Kfamr]

Thanks you. :)

The pups say thanks as well. :D

[Dogz]

Wow, beautiful pictures, Kay!

It looks like Nala had fun swimming in a *real* pool! My boys would think it was a fake one, they like the ponds! :eek:


;)


Simba is so handsome. Today at agility classes Karen [Holly's mom] and I were talking about how adorable he is.


I like the picture of you and Nala. Very cute.


Thanks for sharing the awesome pictures!

Can't wait to see the ones of your grandma's doggies!

[apcrs5122]

Nala is gorgeous!:D And she looks like she had a great time in the pool. Wonderful pics!:) Simba is adorable also.

[Kfamr]

Thanks!!


Awww.. Simba was being talked about. :D

Simba is talked about a lot in this area. Ask my friends, family... :p

[cloverfdx]

Awww what sweet pics :)

It looks like both human and dogs had a great day swimming and playing. And Simba looked so happy to have you home again.

I am very jealous at the moment, it is freezing here and your swimming :( :o ;)

[dukedogsmom]

She can come swimming in my pool any time! I wish Duke liked it but he doesn't. Looks like she enjoyed herself. Yesterday was really pretty and I was stuck at work. Ugh. That pic of Nala catching the treat before Simba is funny! And Simba looks so happy to have you home. Does he like the pool?

[chocolatepuppy]

Great pictures, I just love both your dogs! But next time can I get in the pool?:D

[EssTer]

awwww....how cute pics!! Nala is very goos swimmer :D I really love those photos.. thanx for sharing! ;)

[Cookiebaker]

Great Pics, Kay! Looks like fun in the sun! :cool: I love the picture of her head against the blue, blue sky.

Curious question, tho'. Does the chlorine bother her eyes or anything?? Does she try to drink the water at all?? I've always been paranoid to let Malone go swimming in a pool because of the chemicals and stuff, that he would drink the water.

[anna_66]

Awesome! I'm glad she finally decided to take a swim:D It looks like she really loved it after she got used to it.
Doesn't Sim like to swim?

All the pictures were fabulous of course!

[Kfamr]

Thanks everyone. :)

Simba doesn't like the pool.. He'll go in if I tell him but he'd rather go somewhere he can touch, like the beach. Him and I used to swim in my neighbor's pool, and they had a little swimout thing, he used to always stand there and watch me.

The chlorine didn't seem to bother her at all. It didn't bother me either, so I guess if the pool was highly chlorinated and bothered you it shouldn't bother Malone.

She drank it once or twice when she was getting used to it (When I was telling her to jump in she'd sorta look at the pool and lap it once)

I wish we had a pool like my grandma's so I could get Nala used to it. She really wanted to jump in after the treats and the ball we threw in.. I just think she wasn't sure what to do.

Any of you are welcome in the pool at any time.. as long is grumpy gramps is okay with it. :p

Thanks, again, for replying everyone. :)

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I always love to see your pictures. It looks like swimming was a lot of fun.

[Kfamr]

I'm glad you enjoy them. :):D

[K9soul]

I think those are some of the most adorable Nala pictures I've seen yet. I really enjoy seeing pics of dogs enjoying themselves with activities like playing, running, swimming, etc. It's just especially enjoyable seeing them having fun :)

I love Simba's happy smiling face too. Looks like he was very happy to see his mom and sister back home!

[KYS]

Your camera takes such beautiful pictures.
I can't get over the color of the pool.
Sounds Like you had a fun day swimming with
Nala. Such a brave girl for going in the pool after
you too. :)

[slleipnir]

Awwwww so cute!

Josie used to do that too, although shes never been in a pool. At the beach when she first started swimming, she wouldn't actually 'swim' out deeper then her paws could reach unless I went out first, and she'd stay right beside me. It's so cute XD

[Dog1,Cats2]

What great pictures!! Really looks like fun, makes me jealous!! One of my favorite pics is the dog's head against the sky background!

[Kfamr]

Thanks everyone fore replying and all of the nice comments! :D

[dappledoxie]

Great pictures! I really enjoyed them, makes me wanna swim really bad! lol

[4 Dog Mother]

Great pictures Kay Ann. Nala looks like she had fun swimming. What I've noticed about some of your latest pictures are the flowers blooming. They are so beautiful!

[4 Dog Mother]

I love this one

If I close my eyes, tap my heels together 3 times and wish real hard, I'll be back in Kansas (on dry ground?)

I deleted the other thread, just incase you're wondering where it went.

[RobiLee]

Oh Wow, Nala! That looks like so much fun. I am so jealous. I want a pool. You are one lucky girl. Love those beautiful long legs, Girl!

Simba, you are just as handsome as always!

Hugs to you both....Robin :)
