Three Weimaraner Puppies Met a Kiddie Pool and Lost All Their Manners
Water flies in every direction as three silver-gray puppies discover the kiddie pool. One is mid-splash with droplets bouncing off its paws, another is wading in with a goofy open-mouthed grin, and the third stands calmly at the back as if supervising the chaos. The little blue pool sits on a damp floor next to a rumpled towel, and the puppies' coats are soaked into dark, slick gray. Nobody here is thinking about drying off.
Plenty of dogs enjoy water, and a shallow pool is a gentle way to introduce it. Keep the water just deep enough for paws and ankles, stay right beside the puppies, and never leave them alone near water, since even small amounts can be risky for tiny pups. Take breaks so they do not get chilled, and dry them well afterward, especially in cooler weather. Weimaraners often take to water readily, but every dog is different. Let each puppy decide how far to go, and never force a splash on a reluctant one.
There will be wet paw prints everywhere by the end of this, and not one puppy will regret it.
By tomorrow the towel will still be damp and the floor will still be a puddle, and the puppies will still be talking about it in their own way. Water days are the kind that puppies remember.
