I am escaping this Texas heat with some swim time of my own and learning how to get in and out of the pool - trying to be the safest pupper I can be! Before your pup enjoys the water and sunshine, let's review some safety tips!
It is important to familiarize your pup with the pool and the exits. This is crucial in the event that we accidentally fall in and can easily get ourselves out. The best way to do this is to get in with us and lead us over to the stairs multiple times so we can remember if we are ever in a scary situation - you can see my Grandpa helping me learn!
Never ever leave your pup outside near a pool unattended and unsupervised - this can lead to a tragic situation especially for our senior pups as they can struggle with their strength and stamina. If you have a pool, look into different options like safety fences or life jackets for your pup!
Also, make sure you monitor our swim time - too much swimming can lead to muscle fatigue and ingestion of too much pool water which can actually be toxic for us pups. So even when we want to drink from the chlorine or saltwater pool, tell us no... we will thank you later!
Have some real family fun this weekend and think about an opportunity for pool safety. Stay safe friends and cool off with a dip in the pool!
See ya next week!
Love,
Ben 🐾

I am making my Super Bowl prediction today and I would like to remind all my hooman friends that I chose correctly last year... Will I go 2 for 2 with this year's pick?! Lets be honest, I am rooting for the commercials and snacks... But hey Go Chiefs!
I know both teams worked incredibly hard to make it to the final championship game and we wish them all the luck!
Just a reminder that those tasty snacks you are going to enjoy at your watching party are likely not pet friendly so lets avoid any chance of an upset stomach or pancreatitis this Sunday! We will just be happy to spend time with you hoomans on the couch watching TV!
Be on the lookout for any commercials featuring us pups - those will be my favorite of course!
Comment below who you are rooting for this Sunday - Yay football!
See ya next week!
Love, Ben 🐾
