Juliet Loves her Kiddie PoolIf you’re like many of my readers, you have multiple, toy-breed dogs, or neighbors with pups that like to drop in for some fun. A great way to keep the whole gang happy and busy on a hot summer day is with a kiddie pool. They’re perfect for little dogs, so there’s no worries about drowning, and even big dogs can enjoy splashing and dunking their floating toys.

Here’s a game we played at a dog party once, that you may enjoy trying when you’re hosting a group of pups for some water fun:

Before I sign off, here’s one final idea. If you’re not well-stocked on floating toys, try ice cubes. Most little dogs love to retrieve and eat ice cubes, and this game will have its own reward–no treats required. It’s not the same frenzied fun, but it works the same way. Happy tails!
