A Beagle Puppy Discovered a Little Pool and Went All In

AI imagebeaglepuppypool

A lemon and white Beagle puppy is mid-splash in a shallow gray pool, one front paw slapping the water and sending droplets flying. His mouth hangs open in a happy grin, his ears are soaked and heavy, and his eyes sparkle. Behind him, a hallway holds a wicker basket and a few folded towels. The floor around the pool is already wet, but he has no plans to stop.

Some Beagles love water, and others prefer to watch from the side. A shallow pool is a gentle way to introduce the splash, but keep the water low, stay close and never leave a puppy alone near any water. Afterward, dry the ears well, since the long, folded ears of a Beagle can trap moisture and are prone to infections. If you notice head shaking, odor or redness, talk to your vet. Offer fresh drinking water, too, since pool water is not for sipping.

Water play on a warm day is a great way for a puppy to burn off energy and cool down. Just keep it fun, short and supervised.

A damp, happy puppy is a good sign. The towels are ready, but he is not. Tomorrow he will probably want to do it all over again, and the towels will lose another round. Moments like this are the heart of puppyhood, and they pass quickly.
