Maybe she’d feel differently about a tiny pool. Not many dogs hate water....except at bath time, of course.
My sis and I took Penny to a beach on Cape Cod. It was off-season, but a beautiful day. My sister took off her shoes and began wading ankle-deep in the surf. Penny got so upset that she grabbed my sister by the sleeve and YANKED her out of the water.
Later that day we heard that Great Whites had been reported in the area.
YIKES!
Penny keeps herself scrupulously clean so she can avoid bath time. :-)
