our gsd dog never really used the small wading pool we got for her one summer, this summer was the first summer with our cardi carly, after i filled the pool one day to let the sun warm up the water before giving spirit a bath carly was in so fast i couldn't believe it.(she is our first cardi). so now if it really hot spirit will walk over and stand in the pool but before she does she looks to see if anyone is watching. also the pool is great for bathing carly in and spirit now feels left out and will got stand in there while i am trying to the short legged one a bath and after we are finished she is still standing in there as if to say ok it is my turn don't forget about me, so if not going to a show she gets a quick splash with the hose and some rubbing all over but it doesn't stop there if the grooming table is up she is on it after being in the pool to be "blown" out and get pampered.
