I can't say it strongly enough: Please don't risk playing with laser lights or flashlights with the dog. I can't count how many desperate posts there have been here about dogs with that obsession.

The water play occurs on those. 90+ humid afternoons when heavy activity is ill advised. Maybe it's time for a bigger kiddie pool! :-)

Maybe it's time for a bigger kiddie pool! :-) Kathie, I whole-heartedly agree about the bigger pool and eliminating the sprinkler, now that the symptoms of OCB have been pointed out. Do you know about the protocol for avoiding heatstroke when using a kiddy pool? http://leerburg.com/webboard/thread.php?topic_id=32388&page=1#363516 Do not swim your dog and then crate him. http://leerburg.com/webboard/thread.php?topic_id=30276&page=1#336759 http://leerburg.com/webboard/thread.php?topic_id=32386&page=1#362940 ".... and especially don't allow the dog to get soaked and then be stuck in sun or stationary in a crate, etc. Sauna effect! " Just a reminder to all of us! (Not to say that you would do this, but we try to insert this crucial warning whenever we're talking about those 90-degree days.) Our club(s) use kiddy pools. The club with big dogs uses deeper ones that immerse the belly (and arm- and leg-pits) , and the Pug club uses the little pools because their bellies (and arm- and leg-pits) are immersed with far less water. No dogs in either club are crated or in the hot sun after pool fun.
