Backyard Oasis

No doubt, no question, no uncertainty... the best $5 I have ever spent was on a blue plastic swimming pool from Wal-Mart.  Technically it is (or was) the dogs pool, but over the last few summers the girls have slowly started to take it over.

The girls and Gator are learning tolerance and have figured out a way to share the pool in harmony.  Gate even tolerates them dumping water on her while she takes a break with her tennis ball.

You won't catch Albie in any of the below photos... he is usually under the swingset in the shade; far away from the girls and any chance of them splashing him.

Same as the pool... the dogs toy bin has been overtaken by bubbles, sidewalk chalk, a pink princess teaset, etc.

Q's new expression... a slight scowl if she is not happy.

Armed and dangerous!
