This is a classic case of dog abuse, especially if you ask Boone. It was a busy morning, and it was already getting muggy and hot. Boone's pool needed to be drained, which takes some time. While that was happening, I worked in the garden and flower beds.
Once it was drained, I obviously did not realize what my immediate priority should be and was off taking pictures of some silly flowers, when I looked over and saw this.....
Obviously this was not a subtle hint...but since I didn't imediately rush over and turn on the hose, more drastic measures were called for.
How can a 140 pound dog look so small and abused? And in case you didn't catch the full effect of the woebegone face...here is a closer view.
Oh my...and here I think he might even be squeezing out a tear...
Fortunately I have a low threshold for sad doggy faces, so I got my act together and got the hose going into his pool....Whew...
Now that is more like it. Cool feets and a happy face. (No, really, this is his happy face....)
And life is good once again.

Aww, thanks for a chuckle this morning. It did indeed look like he squeezed out a tear, lol! Smart pup, he knows exactly how to look at you, to get his way :-D
I love it! He is an absolute treasure, and I thoroughly enjoy reading about your farm adventures with your furry friends. :)
LOL very subtle hint from Boone. I need to get a small pool for my dogs so they can splash and cool off sometime, what a great idea :)
If he were any cuter, I'd have to kiss his mug. Oh wait he's already kissed mine- without invitation.
So funny! Now that my Bordeaux-owning friend has internet connection again, I must forward this post to her.
That poor little puppy, suffering such abuse!
:-) :-)
I love him,he has such an expressive face,phylliso
Green is good color for him! My beagles have a blue pool with turtles in it:) What we do for those silly animals!
Completely hilarious! I love that dog!
Oh, Tammy ~
I think you just made my summer!
;-)
Tammy, he is so cute! Yeah, he would of turned my heart to mush that's for sure! Poor baby...ha!
I love Boone stories!!! This one is classic :-D
Too Funny! I love that look Boone is giving you....:) All my dogs love their kiddie swimming pools. :)
LOL, love that happy face.
ROFL!!!!
That Boone is a real character. But does he let any other oh-so-hot-and-weary-female-type-dogs in to share his pool?
Boone is so cute! He had such a sad face when his pool was empty. So glad you saved the day!
I got a good laugh over Boone and his pool problems! Glad he's happy again!
He is so "doggone" cute! With a face that persuasive, I'm surprised you were able to keep yourself from digging him an inground pool, complete with dog floatie and shaded pergola! :)
That might be the best blog post I've seen in a long while...thanks for the laugh!
That was great! Boone's facial expressions says everything. He is so very handsome. And he looks good in green! :)
Glad you all enjoyed the Boone. He is a mess for sure, but with that face, everything is just too funny. Thanks for stopping by pinkglitter---looove your paintings on your blog. Very nice. Kathy---Ashley would rather not wade, thank-you-very-much--but does use it as a large water bowl (Yuck). Hmmmm...Kim, don't give them any ideas!
