I Discovered the Swimming Pool

It was very cold and wet all day yesterday and every time Mum opened the door, I went outside and sat in the rain. I like rain. Everyone thinks  I’m a bit crazy, but it’s very refreshing. In fact I just like water. I paddle in my water bowl sometimes too and I like to make a big wet mess when I take a drink.

Last night, I went outside with Luke. He was going to get in this big noisy bubbly thing they call a spa. The bubbly bathtub is next to another great big, huge bath. I don’t know what they use it for cos no one has ever gone in there since I moved here. It has a big fence around it and I haven’t been able to get in there to explore yet.

Anyway, I got my big chance. Luke opened the gate to go and get in the spa thingy. I snuck in behind him so I could get a closer look at the big bath. It looked so exciting and fun. I went down the other end as far away from him as I could and had a sniff at the water. It looked so inviting.

And then it happened. I just couldn’t resist. I jumped in. OMG it was so cold. I think Luke was scared something bad would happen cos he jumped in and rescued me(even though I don’t think I needed rescuing). I was enjoying my swim. The bath was a bit deeper than I expected but it was OK. I don’t think Luke liked it though. He got lots of big towels and took me inside to dry by the heater.

I don’t think I’ll do that again in a hurry. And I’m sure my people will make it harder for me to get in there now. But it was fun while it lasted though.
