We spent this past weekend working at my parents old house (my childhood home). They have already moved into their new neighborhood (less than two miles down the road!!) and are going to rent the old house once they get everything cleaned out and spruced up. Steve and I painted a few rooms and helped mom with a garage sale.
When we headed back over to the new house — we were bringing over some outdoor furniture. MacGyver always travels to Cleveland with us — so he was in the backyard at the new house. Someone had the bright idea of putting him inside the fence around the pool while we were moving the outdoor furniture into the backyard. The pool was still covered — but it had been raining all week and the cover had little ponds of green, gooey, yucky leaf filled water all over it. We figured he would just run around a bit or sit at the gate and wait til we were finished unloading furniture.
Not our dog. Nope. MacGyver never does what you expect him to do. MacGyver, the dog who runs to the back of our property when the water hose is brought out (not even turned on yet!) — dove right into the yucky ponds on top the pool cover. He’s diving in — putting his head under the water — like he’s looking for something — and then he crawls out and runs at mach4 around the pool. It was like a dog on crack. He’s covered in green goo and we’re all laughing so hard — and he jumps in again. We’re worried the pool cover will collapse around him — so we try to get him out and he gets out only to jump right back in. My brother said he’s [MacGyver] probably not had that much fun (or been that cool) in a long time! It was soooo funny! We finally managed to get him out — and got him out of the fenced pool area — and he just runs and runs and runs around the backyard. That green gooey water energized him!!
Thankfully I had my camera out there - to get pictures of Sarah, of course - so we were able to capture a few of the pool-cover swimming moments!!! Click here for pictures!
