I have bsky account but haven't had a reason to use it. Maybe this is it.

I'm in Texas and it's just not something I've ever seen here. The pool is used March or April through October. Sometimes in August, when the water becomes uncomfortably warm, I stretch a shade sail across it, but it sits a couple of feet above the water. Sometimes we remove it. Sometimes we just swim underneath it. Do those plastic sheets just lay across the top and then you pick them up?

Fun! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing! Did you see the recent article about SMA treatments?

That's probably the best looking because it can easily be totally removed.

We have several things that could support something like that - spa, stair rail, and 4 holes that hold an umbrella or volley ball net. I suggested putting low stretchy net around that but husband didn't like that. He suggests 'we' take her on the leash every day and train her to use one area of the yard. She's 12, has lived in the same house for 10 years (9 and a half with sight) , and still loses the back door despite having a rug trail to it. She's happy and sweet, but i don't think that's going to work.

The panels that connect on the ends? Maybe I'll check pricing on those.

She hates it! I have scars from trying to take her swimming.

She hates the pool, hates a bath, and is not a good swimmer. If she falls in I think she will freak out instead of trying to climb out. We don't cover, but using swimming things beside the pool is a good idea - pool noodles or something by the pool would likely cue her to turn away - like doggy bumper bowling.

I looked at plastic k-rails but they were expensive and would take a lot of space to store. I'll check out those fence bases. If i can just scoop pool water to hold them down, that would be good.

Right - 8" high would be plenty and she won't try to go under. He does woodworking, so i think he thought i wanted him to build a dozen planters.

About a week ago. At work. To try to get a kid to jump.

Can you jump and touch your head to the doorway? My kids used to challenge each other to that.

My fear half wants those people to go back to their jobs when they're asked. My anger half hopes they stay home, make popcorn, and watch with us as it all burns down.

You've gotta put down the ducky if you want to play the saxophone.

I'm so sorry. It's so hard to say goodbye to our best friends.

My niece's French bulldog would bump a chair with his head to move it across the kitchen, then use it to reach a bowl of pecans on the counter. He only counts as wild animal because he liked to drag his stuffed animals to the living room and hump them in front of the tv.

Just a handyman?
