Backyard Plastic Pools

Any pictures or suggestions from anyone who uses a backyard plastic pool when you can't get to the lake?

We just want one that keeps him cool and wet until we can get to the lake.

When we first got Bocker a blow up plastic pool, of course he bit it and deflated it and thought it was the most fun in the world. After that we got a hard shell plastic one and then another inflatable one and he was fine...jumping in and out and having a ball.

Cute. I had an inflatable pool in my shopping cart the other night.......................... and then I just knew it would last 5 minutes. He just lost most of his teeth so maybe now would be a good time. All I could think of was tears--like when your kids cried after the balloon popped!

Thank you. I don't know anything about a Stock Tank but I certainly will find out. Seriously, I want to get in the pool too! LOL I will let you know.
All your pictures here look like fun.

YAY, we bought a pool. I was out walking Spud and a plastic pool was just around the corner in a neighbors yard
"FOR SALE". Now I have no way to get it home today, although it is bought and paid for. I might even fit in it myself. Will post a picture soon. Thanks everyone for sharing all those cute picks.

Mine liked digging in the pools...but never really used them to cool off.

Rosco at about 5 months:

Then when my friend was ready to toss this extra big pool...I adopted it and the dogs LOVED It:

Unfortunately it only lasted about 24 hours... :-( With their digging (just HAD to create a hole) and their claws it didn't have a good fate to begin with.

Awwww. These pictures are GREAT, Adina. Makes me sad to know they had so much fun but didn't last. ( A little tear ).

That is a perfect size.To bad they don't make the hard plastic in such a nice large size.

I truly think we should call our local contractors and all of us have in-ground concrete pools installed. Only $30,000. . Or, we could flood our basements and make them indoor all-year-round pools. Anything to have a little fun with our dogs!

I posted a pool digger video and the reasons we need the hard plastic, not the inflatable pools.
I should just leave it with no water and fill it with dirt. I will try to post the video in here... but i dont know if that will work.
