"We need a pool for the grandkids, Honey" Wink- Wink.

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

We started construction on our pool this morning, and I have to admit, I am as excited for the doodles as I am for my grandchildren to begin enjoying it this summer. Okay, maybe the doodles were why I originally thought of adding a pool in the first place, it is so hot here in the summer that it is just torture sending them outside for anymore than a quick potty break and they need exercise!   But DH wasn't having any of that logic. So with one grandson here and one on the way, it makes total sense to put one in for our grandbabies, right?

 The doodles both did great today as strangers came and went bringing big backhoes and small dumptrucks into thier backyard.  They have been curious all day, so I finally let them out to explore. Looks like we will be going out on leashes to go potty for a few weeks. This is one big hole!

The work begins at 6:15 this morning.

 

 

Measure out that doggie play step very carefully please.

What's going on mom? I get in trouble whenever I dig even a small hole in the yard.  WTD?

 

 

Murphy is ready to dive in!

I am so envious.  I would love a pool for Rua.  No way we can justify building one in Omaha.  So, next place I move to is going to be hot enough so the house includes a pool.  DH is already way OK with that. 

 

Please keep taking pictures and posting the progress.  I love watching construction.

Your Doods are going to love that pool!

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

This will be amazing, I only wish we had the weather to warrant the addition of a pool here.

Sue, You are brilliant! My husband would do anything for the grandkids! When I saw the title to your blog I knew right away what you were talking about. I told my daughter (who is a swimmer and has begged for a pool for 20 years) that we now have the angle to get her dad to do it. haha. (not going to happen for us, but you are brilliant, as I said.) FUN! FUN! FUN!

[Tina, Clover, Plus 5 More]

What a lucky bunch you have.  It looks like you live in AZ, my SIL lives in Surprise and just loves having a pool.  Most of the swimming is done in the evening or early morning though.  I bet yours will get alot of use anytime of day.  Are you adding a table in the pool for yappy hour?

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

So funny. Your doods are so lucky.

Lucky doodle babies! Way to get to the DH!! We must see pictures and be safe!

[Sue, Lola, Pongo & Hubby]

haha, too cute!!! They're so curious! Good thinking on your behalf to bring the grandkids into the negotiation!!! Make sure to take a video during their first pool experience! I'm curious to see how it goes!!! P.S. Just out of curiosity, how long does it take to build a pool??

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Wow you have very lucky Doodles.  We have a condo pool, so the grandkids are all set, but the Doods are not allowed in.  I'd love for them to be able to swim...the "kiddie pool" just doesn't "cut it" for them.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Sue, This is my dream to have a pool. You are so lucky!!! Enjoy every minute of it!!
