Watermom's New Pool Adventure

What sweet dogs! One of our shepherds turned 8 in January. He would LOVE to come play in your sand!

Jan,
That is the storm that is heading our way. That's why we are really hoping this will dry up tomorrow so the pool can go up Thursday and Friday before it gets here. It has only been 3 weeks since there were tornadoes flying all around this part of the country, too, which isn't the norm for these parts. This time it isn't expected to be so devastating but I think they are calling for pretty heavy rain. In a place as mountainous as WV, that means flooding! Although I don't like living on top of a mountain when it snows, when the valleys are flooding, I'm glad for my mountain. If we ever have to worry about flooding up here, then everybody better get busy building an ark!

Pool installation today! The guys were here yesterday evening dropping off lots of big cardboard boxes. So, we spent the evening and this morning puppy watching as they are pretty interested in those boxes and want to get into them. They'll have to 'supervise' from within the closed gate of the deck right outside the house. I know they aren't gonna like being cooped up on the deck all day but there is no other way. We have a couple of chains that have stakes on the end. We'll stick them in the ground and use them to give the dogs some time off the deck occasionally throughout the day.
