Keeping the Animals Cool

The weather has been so hot lately, it has been difficult to keep cool for all of us.
We don't have enough room in our garden for a decent size pool, but I decided the dogs could really do with one to help them to cool off after their walks.
I bought a cheap baby paddling pool and set it up in the shade of a small birch tree, whilst the boys were out with the dogs.
When they got back Joe got straight in and used treat to encourage Sheba in.

Jessica came over to have a look at what was going on, but got out too quickly for me to get a photo

Bubbles had a quick paddle too, as you can see only her paws got wet.

The main players seem to be Matt, Joe and Sheba, who somehow all managed to get into the pool at once. (Matt even managed to fall over and get soaked, but I had put the camera away by then)
