Our new swimming pool is pretty much finished. We have the gap in the fence covered so they can't get out of the yard. We let them out into the whole back yard tonight where the new pool is. I think that if it had been daylight this would not have happened. Sadie and Pooh Bear were running all over their yard sniffing around. They haven't got to run around the whole yard for weeks while the pool construction was going on. Hubbie was outside with them. He only heard a big splash and Pooh Bear was in the middle of the pool. He thinks he was running and didn't realize what a pool was or didn't see it?? Anyway, hubbie coaxed him to the side and fished him out. He then went and rolled in the dirt that is still all in the yard from the digging for the pool. I took him directly inside to the bathtub for a good bath. We see now that we will need to put a cute little white pickett fence around the pool area. Anyone else have a pool? How do your Beagles do aroundit?

Summary of Pooh Bear's week:

He had a bad bloody diarrea and throwing up this week. But it was just the one night and he was fine the next day with normal "poops".

Then Sadie and Pooh Bear almost escaped from the fenced yard. But they were caught before they could get out into the street. Shew!

Then the first night they are let out into the full yard where the new pool is, Pooh Bear falls in.

He is no worse for the wear.

And yes, it really is funny (knowing that he wasn't hurt and is fine) that he did fall in the pool. Hubbie says he made a big splash. I think he was running and it was dark and he just didn't know someone had put a big water hole in the middle of their yard. Hubbie says when he first fished Pooh out that Pooh croched down low as if to say "what happened??" Then he promptly ran over to a dirt pile and rolled in it. Then had to have an immediate bath.

Today I have let them out in the big yard where the pool is. They ran around for several hours with me outside supervising. I've been raking leaves, they have been having a ball running around sniffing all the scents. They did fine with the pool. They both came up to it and sniffed it and they know it is there now. We may still put a pool fence around the pool and will definitely get a pool alarm. They will always be watched around the pool unless we get a pool fence.
