This Dog Loves The Swimming Pool Slide

May 15, 2008 by Colby

I’m lucky that I get many great dog and puppy emails from friends and family. I like posting a lot of these to my blog rather than forwarding them on to others. I’d like to thank Carole for sending me another great dog video.

When I saw this little video today it reminded me of our old family dog a Border Collie Australian Shepherd mix (?), Maffy who loved the swimming pool.

This email came with a short story that is listed as a MUST READ before watching the video:

Who’s Swimming In My Pool?

These people were always finding water all over their pool deck and furniture, every time they came home, after being away for a few hours. They thought the neighborhood kids were watching for them to leave, and using the pool. However, they could never catch them doing it. So, they set up their video cam and left. This is what they found out.

Dog Slide

I’m sure the video is accurate, but I don’t think the story is true. After receiving this email I went to YouTube.com to either upload or find a link to the dog slide video. There were already several of the same video posted. The first was the 25 second video you see above. However, I also noticed the same video, but it was 1 minute long. I watched that one as well and if you pay attention you’ll notice someone is holding the camera and starts walking towards the pool at the end of the video. Here’s the link to the 1 minute video: Dog Slide Video.

The story above says that “…they set up their video cam and left.” As you can see from the second video someone was actually there recording the dogs.

Whether or not the story is true it’s still a great video. I don’t think Stetson or Linus would like the slide (neither of them are real fond of water), but I could picture their pal Dustin having some fun on that water slide.

Do you have any interesting dog or puppy videos you’d like to share? Send me a link or email if you’d like to share your video.
