CALVIN!!!! (once again)

Yesterday, Mom and Dad were working down at the pool cutting a new solar cover to size. Calvin and I were hanging out pool side enjoying ourselves when Calvin decided to go see what Dad was doing. Well, he stepped too close to the edge of the pool and splash! into the water he went. The really bad part was when Dad dropped the scissors he was using to cut the cover, right into the pool when he went to pull Calvin out! Everybody was afraid they might have cut the liner but it appears all is well. Mom immediately took Calvin in to give him a bath because she was afraid the pool water might not be good for his sensitive skin. Big Baby!

Today Calvin and I helped Mom pull all the patio furniture out of the poolhouse and rearrange everything. It looked great after we cleaned everything up. Of course, Calvin just sat on the side of the pool sunning himself while Mom and I did all the work. But I'm happy to say the pool is officially open for the summer!

Happy Trails! Teddy

Opening the pool

Dad took the cover off the pool yesterday and the water was a very dark emerald green. Not to worry though as in a few days it will be a nice turquoise blue. Dad wouldn't let us within the pool gate while he was working on it because, over the winter when the heavy cover was on, Calvin would bound across it, and Dad was worried that he would think it was still on and go splash! into the emerald green murkiness. Nobody wants to go in that yucky water after him and nobody wants a green Westie! I think that bounding across the cover was Calvin's way of saying that he could walk on water! Once the pool is it's normal color Dad will let us dogs back in and we can resume our Westie races where we chase each other around the outside of the pool. For some reason the family thinks this is hilearous. It's great exercise for us Westies though. See ya, Teddy. p.s. here is a picture of me on the patio last summer.
