I’ve had my pug for 7 years, and we also have a 5 year old labrador. We recently bought a small plastic swimming pool for dogs at our local pet store, and our labrador loves it, but our pugs won’t go near it.
One day she stepped in soda I spilled on the floor and her paw became crusty, so I took her out to the pool to wash it off, but when I held her over the pool to dip her crusty paw in, she kinda swam in air. She doggy paddled above the water, and although it was funny because I had seen dogs do this on those Funniest Video shows, I got concerned because she won’t even walk near the pool now.
Is this normal for small dogs?

I was thinking about a movie from my childhood…

It’s one of those late 80′s, early 90′s types. It’s about a kid who moves to a new neighbourhood and becomes a paperboy. Except he finds everything difficult so he needs to think differently.

The local kids have guns loaded with tomatoes that they fire at him with from some awesome treehouse. He ends up wearing armour and carrying around meat for the dogs.

I also remember a scene where some bullies grab his bike while they’re in a car. They make him speed up and bike over the ramp, and he lands in someone’s swimming pool.

Overall, classic child movie. I’ve given you a lot of detail here, anyone remember the name?

I’ve been poking around in this section and have realized that very few people who scream about socialism seem to actually know what they’re talking about. It’s obviously something bad, but let’s drill it down a little further. Can you pick the correct sentence?

A) There’s a socialism growing on my butt. I have to go to the doctor on Tuesday to get it removed.
B) When I came home from work, there was a huge socialism in my swimming pool, so we called animal control and they hauled it away.
C) Bob got caught fondling little boys, so they put him on the Socialism Registry.
D) Glenn Beck told me that socialisms were bad, so I can only assume "socialism" means "laser-equipped robot space tiger" because I can’t be bothered to read a book or think critically.
E) I wanna socialism you like an animal.
F) Socialism refers to an economic system, or specific element(s) within a mixed economic system, which decrees government at some level to set aside portions of tax revenue for the provision of social services available to all citizens, such as infrastructure, transportation, medical treatment, utilities, education, etc.
G) I stepped in a pile of dog socialism on my way to the brothel.

The challenge is on. Let’s see how you do!

ok i have one more stanza to go but this is it so far:

Where I’m From

I am from school and sports
from homework and track
I am from the good times
(laughing, smiling
with all of my friends)
I am from bad times,
the swimming pool
whose memories pass through my head like waves

I’m from happiness
from family and friends.
I’m from the reunions
and the losses,
from Hurry up! and Come on!
I’m from going
with a spring in my step
and leaving for better or for worse.

I’m from vacations,
corn on the cob and hot dogs.
From the campsite
to the river,
the campfire under the stars.
ok i finished the last stanza here it is:

These moments form me
as a child forms clay
every moment changes me
wheather its a fall
or rising up
These are the moments that I am from.

I am terrified about jumping into a swimming pool. Deep or shallow, even just jumping off a small step, is something wrong with me and would it be okay to say that your scared to jump in to a physical education teacher?

I am always so nervous so I can’t float on my back, I think I’m going to float and I get my physical education teacher so frustrated. I can barely float. Any tips?

How can I be calm at the swimming pool while doing any activities? I always get nervous…

Any tips on how to be calm and do these things properly: dog paddle, putting your head fully in water while being able to breathe and any other basics.

Also if possible, tell me how to do practise them at home

Thanks.

Well i have this story i have made up andi want it to be published some day its about Chapter 1

There once lived a girl named Acrostica she loved to look at the deepest most arrogant parts of the ocean, but her parents were evil speaking of evil they were so evil they were worst then the story of a beautiful princess named Cinderella step mother and stepsisters, but she did not have a stepsister .She was the only child but she did not feel like she was the only child, but she did not care she knew it would pay off some day. She loved the ocean dearly but she was mostly afraid of the ocean because she was only used to swimming in a swimming pool, and she had a secret. That no one knew she went out at night and dreamed about the evil monster Zamora he was evil but the humans did not even know about Zamora and that he even existed only fake scary monsters or serial killers that lurked around at night existed as something called horror or scary movies. She kept it to herself she just starts everyday walking through the forest thinking about what she wanted to do in life but her biggest fear was to explore the ocean because she thought that Zamora would not except her for being human. That they did not like humans but thinking in another person’s mind Acrostica did not know that people can change and not everyone is the same for how big or how small they are different and that’s the way life is.
Acrostica I guess was not thinking that straight she had her mind set for a different serious plans something that dwelt with the ocean, but she know that she needed to think ahead of the plan so it could work. She was thinking about something that will be discovered and change the lives of everyone. You see she loves to discover but that was one way for her to discover is to find out and find out means to actually find out she liked to discover mostly new things but her parents never let her go to Hawaii so she had to make her own discoveries since she lived on a island . There was one time when she found out that her mother was throwing a ball and not inviting her. But she already knew she has strange dreams at night but once she tells her friends at school they think she has gone madly insane but, she does not care the only person that will. She always believes in her dog Redd he is smart and unbelievable he listens to your feelings he sends advice to him because he is the only person that she will depend on. At night while she goes to sleep he gives her messages in her dream and in the morning she thanks him because she knows he will always have the right answers and different opinions about what she should do if something was going wrong. That she gives her friends to make it through tough times when she tries to tell them that her dog gave her the answer about every day life’s situations they do not even believe her.

Is this coping the little mermaid yes or no because i do not want to go to jail or anything like thats thhx

My son is getting a small folding kids couch, rock-n-rock tricycle, some books, v-tech ABC book, cow bowling set, and shape sorter. Plus I’m getting him a few trucks and dinos for the stocking.
My step-daughter is getting two pairs of shoes, a puzzle, rolling talking dog, little people, books and a beanie baby. We are also going to get her a doll.
Then they have a few joint presents, a swimming pool for next year, beach balls, sand toys, and life jackets. All that was clearance so it was less than for all of it.
My son’s presents are for his birthday and Christmas I just have to divide them up and decide what is for what.
I feel kind of bad because most of my son’s toys are bigger but I got them all on sale and I just didn’t find anything for her on sale. She is almost 2 and he is almost 1 so they won’t have a clue but it will look like he has more because his are bigger. Like I got him the rock-n-roll thing for and the couch for . Her shoes we a piece and the dog thing was .
I spent the same amount on both pretty much do you think it’s ok then?

I have 2 large dogs. Both are just over a yr old & one of them carry’s anything around the yard & when I say anything I mean anything, she carries large logs, cinder blocks and has been seen even dragging the garbage can around the yard. The problem is with her water bowl. We have tried many different kinds plastic, plastic wash basins, stainless steel, & even 10 gallon buckets. She will dump the water out chew it if she can and then carry it around the yard like a toy {and she has MANY toys in the yard &is played with & exercised daily}. I have put a cinder block into the plastic water dishes tryin to stop her but some how she gets them out.We have tried automatic waters also same thing happens.She use to do it with her feeder until we put 3 cinder blocks ontop of it {it holds 20 pounds of food} & there are times she will still on occassion knock those blocks off. Any idea’s what we can use as a water bowl that can stay outside because I will NOT go out every few hrs to take her water
Please do not say a childs swimming pool. Tried that last yr and she got it so muddy I was changing the water 5 or 6 times a day. I am out of ideas.
For those of you suggesting the Motion Activated Outdoor Pet Fountains what a good idea however our yard is divided in two {we own 3 city lots}half for the dogs and half for our kids so we dont have to worry about then tromping in poo. The half where the dogs are has no faucet. but ty for the idea
