Good Friday, Internets! Welcome again to Fun For Your Friday, our weekly blog carnival that’s all about finding a smile or a laugh to end the week. The boys of Earnest Parenting are all smiling around here now that the pool has been filled and is ready for some serious fun. We have one of those Easy Set pools where the walls rise as it fills with water. This is the first year we’ve had a puppy and an open pool, and I was pretty concerned about her poking a hole in the liner with her claws. So, we were officially on a No Puppy in the Pool plan.

Notice I said “were”? Yea. The first time the boys hopped in, she jumped right up the side of the pool and managed to stand on the pool wall and look into the water. Then she tried out swimming.

She jumps out pretty quickly, but she’s learning to swim, and I guess I can patch a hole if she pokes one.

I’ll admit it. I’m a complete sucker for that dog. But she’s cute. Don’t you agree?

So!! Welcome to the June 18, 2010 edition of fun for your friday.
