I am getting frustrated with the pool like I did with the mud hole. The past few days we have been finding Vegas's pool like this when ever it's dirty. I think he is telling me not to leave it dirty to long...:D:D

I think maybe he just does not like pools.

Did ya try putting it in the middle? If I can recall... the reason is if it's in their path route... they will just run through it.. so if you put it not in the path where they usually roam they won't boulder through it. I believe Maggie moved hers and all seemed well afterwards.

Before I put the pool in that corner, he never spent anytime in that area and that why I choose that spot, but I will try moving it away from the wall and see how it goes..

I'm sorry D'marcus, but that is friggin' hilarious!!! I think you had an episode of torties gone crazy! What if you make him a little cement pool, get some of that quick dry stuff and use that. Not too big and not too deep kinda of a wading pool that you can still hose out and clean. What I am trying to say is like a giant bird bath thing.

My hand is raise high Tom. I love him no matter how much he makes me scratch my head while trying to figure out why he did something crazy..

I figured the pool would make things easier for me, but I spend more time knocking the dents out of it than I thought. I'm not ready to go the cement pool way yet, but I am sure we will end up doing something similar to that..

I think this is what you need. You'll have to find a local seller, though.

I was going to post the same, my other thought (less expensive) was get 3 or 4 of the same kiddie pool and leave them stacked together (making the walls that much thicker and more rigid) he'd still probably destroy it though! lol

I have one of those, but the issue is that if he get in, he can't get out because it a little to deep. We put rocks in it to make it shallow, but that made it to heavy to clean and with the mosquitoes we just can't leave any water in it, so that is not an option anymore.

You can go to a feed store and purchase one of the heavy duty round plastic water/feeders...you can then take a saw and cut the height down to fit the height of your "water lilly" there (LOL) and sink it a little into the ground...then dig a trench leading to somewhere the water can go to when you change out the water (you can change it out old school way, just drop the hose in it and let it run for 15 -20 mins and it will change out majority of dirty water for clean)...good luck

ps, he does look like he is mocking you ....LMAO, great stuff... :p

Can you get that kind of thing in Canada?
