    I had to dive in my dads pool the first day I opened it. My 60lb bulldog fell in the deep end and sank like a rock. Couldn't see 6" in the water, nasty, green slimy, cold water. No ladders or diving board to grab on to, no one was there but me also. Big damn pool to, had a hell of a time just getting him to the shallow end. He's lucky I heard the splash and came running. It's now S.O.P. that he wears a lifevest any time we go to my dads.

    @bflorin:

    I think you've found the ONLY reason I would EVER jump into that kind of nightmarish muck.


    Saving someone.


    Otherwise, seriously-nightmares. (shivers)

    @GiltProto: That's given me a great idea; what we really need is a collar that pops open with a steaming hot burrito. Not for my dog of course, but for me!

    I'm not one to drop a shop-bomb lightly but why does the dog look 'shopped onto an old stock photo of a flooded street?

    Can't pretty much all dogs swim?

    @lostarchitect: Also, dogs that are missing body parts tend not to be able to swim. That's why you shouldn't cut the legs off your dog. Even though you can walk on two legs, your dog needs all four.


    Cats on the other hand...


    There's an old saying that goes "more useless than a two-legged cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen pond". I don't exactly agree with the saying because watching a two-legged cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen pond is pretty fun. They can't stand on solid ground, let alone ice. And on the ice it's just Fluffy hobbling up and falling down again. If you imagine cartoon noises, it's even funnier.
