Boudreaux is just so adorable!  Such a big, goofy boy!!!

Goodness, he's HUGE!  :o  Looks like he's having a blast!  He doesn't look hot at all but I've gotta give a warning while it comes to mind.  Friends lost a dog like this.  They thought she was playing in the water and should be fine but just getting the paws wet is not enough to cool a dog in the kind of heat we've been having lately.  She was running around too much, not getting wet enough and had a heat stroke.  Sorry for the hijack but it just struck me so strongly while watching that video.

I think that is a great thing to bring up with the wicked hot weather we all are going thru right now.  Fortunately for us, Boudreaux is a "I love the A/C" type dog.  He doesn't stay out more than about 15 minutes-in the water or out!   ;)

HAHAHAHAHA I LOVE that pic of Boudreaux on the air vent!  He is such a doll.  I can just imagine him having a half frozen tongue if he keeps that up!

I just took that photo and he is still there.  He and Tsu are ALWAYS on the vents whenever the AC kicks on.   ;D

Wyatt's jealous of the size of Boudreaux's pool.

Glad to hear he knows exactly where to go to stay cool!  He certainly didn't look at all hot to me in the video.  He also wasn't laying down in it and getting his body wet which was what struck me and reminded me of our friend's dog.  Then again, he looks like he's getting too big to lay down in that pool!!!!!!!!!!  Bwahahaha!!!!  :D Either the deck isn't big enough for a bigger pool or you were just looking at how cute and little he was when you bought that one!

Love the video!
By the way, the toy that Boudreaux is playing with looks like it's pretty durable.  What is it???  I'm really running out of options because Bella tears up everything!

I've tried to see this several times but my computer is a relic & rarely allows me to see video. :( I have to be very patient to even see pictures. :(

Funny how Boudreaux makes that kiddie pool look like a water bowl (he's gotten so big) - I love that big guy!

What a great video and pic. He is getting huge.  Have he tried swimming yet in a larger body of water?

LOL!! It is a tub toy of Zac's that I got at evil Wal-Mart.  If he wanted to chew it up, I think he could.  It squeeks just a little and if he has it out of the water and squeezes it water shoots out of the bottom.  It had 3 little sharks that fit on the top...$1.99 I think.

We haven't taken him to the lake or pond yet.  I imagine he would dig it!  We need to try it. 

To make mention of the pool...it is a $10 plastic pool from (yet again) evil Wal-Mart.  It was plenty big when we got Boudreaux...no t sure when it shrank so small... ???
