When we moved here, the summers were much hotter and he was getting a bit older. We wanted a water feature in this yard and knew we needed a place for him to stay cool. We didn't have the slope in this backyard to make a multi-level pond, but we were able to make something that we love and he loves.
We built this pond a couple of years ago. HERE is the link
We had to add this mesh so he wouldn't get in the deep side. It's funny that the fish swim right up to him. We call his area "Max Beach". Yes, he is spoiled. :)
Thanks to HGTV for posting his picture! Thanks for your visit.

What a good mom making Max another pond! I can't remember, did you ever share your process here on you building it? Of course I have seen them, but not sure if others have?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your feature! Such an honor from HGTV! Your dog is adorable and I love, love your gorgeous pond!
ReplyDeleteIt is so sweet that you make this wonderful and cool place for Max. I am sure he appreciates it. He looks very comfortable. I would love to see HGTV's feature, do you have a link to it?

ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! Labs so totally need to be spoiled! We spoil ours as well and my brother and sister in law have had more than one of their labs in their ponds! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of Max cooling off in your pond! I had a chocolate lab many years ago. That was the smartest dog I've ever had!

ReplyDeletePam I LOVE this post! Max is a sweetie!!
ReplyDeleteMax is like Buster, our yellow lab, loves a ball and our inground pool. Goes down the steps and swims around to cool off.LOL Labs deserve to be spoiled:)
