Mean birdies...

This is how my pool looked the last friday... almost deflated.
The culprit?

One of this...


My grandma was in the kitchen and she saw him pecking the pool.
She went to the patio to make him go away... but the damage was done. When my mom came from work, and my grandma told her about my pool... she was not happy.
Then she thought that she needed to buy another one for me but this time it would be better to get one of those made of hard plastic.

Yesterday morning she and my grandma went to look for it. They spent all the morning going to lots of stores without finding it.
It was time for lunch so they came back. My grandma was cooking and she needed some bread. My mom went to a supermarket that is 14 blocks away from our house. When she was there, she saw the pool she had been looking for! She bought the bread... and the pool. When she was in the parking lot... she knew the pool was too big to bring it home in her car... Yes... she walked the 14 blocks... with the pool on her shoulder... at 2pm... and with a temp of 11o degrees. I wish you could see her face when she got here... and to make it worse... she had to go back, walking the 14 blocks again to pick up her car....

Now the second part of the story...

The pool is to high for me. I am not very good jumping. My mom cut it to make easier for me to come in and come out of it...

Here I am inspecting it...

And my face says what I think of this new pool!

Sorry mom. I don't like it...


Have a good night

Lorenza, that mom is laughing so hard at this story that she is leaking. Great work! You show her who's boss.

I gotta say your mum obviously loves you heaps! Maybe you'll grow to like the new pool after a while...

♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥ said...

Oh dear, that nasty bird. And what a wonderful and loving Grandma you have. Maybe you need a little ramp to use to get in there. We hope you will give the pool a try - you will like it once you get in there.

Hugs and woos - Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

Wyatt said...

That is quite the scowl on your face! Lorenza, your mom worked so hard, maybe you can reconsider.

I hope a Cat gets after that nasty birdie.
Now about your mom... you have the bestest most loving mom in the whole wide world.
I think you just need to have a little help getting used to your WONDERFUL new pool. Maybe even a step stool or ramp thingy.
Now... you go tell your mom how much YOU L O V E her. OK?

Sonic said...

Oh no! What a nasty bird to destroy your pool! But you'd better at least pretend to like your new pool, or your momma's going to feel really sad. She went through sooooo much to get it for you... won't you just hop in for a little dip?

Sonic

Deborah said...

After all that work getting it home I think you should at least give it a try:) Poor Mom.

Teddy Bear said...

Oh no! Mean birdies is right! I guess they needed some water. They could've gotten some water without hurting your pool. I hope you learn to like your new pool.

Love,

houndstooth said...

Oh my! Your mom loves you a lot more than almost anybody else's! That is devotion. Is your mom going to make you walk back to get the car?

Bunny

Stella said...

You should get in it, Lorenza,or the birds will make it their pool!

What a wonderful Mom you have to carry this home for you, through the heat and blistering sidewalks. You wind up seeming a little ungrateful!

Kisses,
Stella

Lola and also Franklin, too said...

Well, you know you are loved, that's for sure. That is really going above and beyond on your Mom's part. Could you maybe give her a break and give the pool a chance. It's a pool. It'll have water. Everything else will fall into place.

wags, Lola

TwoSpecialWires said...

Oh Lorenza. Your moma loves you so much. Maybe you'll like the pool better another day. Would a pool party help? We'd love to come splash with you. (It is sooooo hot here.)

Love
Jake and Fergi xxoo

Jans Funny Farm said...

Oh, no! Please reconsider. It can grown on you. But your mom walked 14 blocks carrying it home in the sweltering heat. Lorenza, can you pretend you like it?

Unknown said...

Oh Lorenza, that's one funny face! I still think you need your Granny to make you a nice bikini bathing suit, maybe with a ruffle? That would make the notion of swimming in the new pool much more appealing. I love it! I'd jump right in!

Your Pal,

Petey

Oh Lorenza!! Your mum deserves a medal - embarrassing to walk so far carrying your cute pool! I hope you change your mind. We like it!! Patsy and Frankie xo

Ellen Whyte said...

Your mum bought you a POOL???? She's the best. Give it a go, you may enjoy it.

Charlie said...

Maybe you'll like it better after you get used to it. Try it...

Brindusa (Brinda Dasha) said...

Dear Lorenza,
Thanks for coming by. We were pretty busy last days, our daddy went to hospital and the doctors discovered him a birth malformation on his brain, some veins which use the blood and has nothing what to do there. Now we are all waiting for the day when he has to have the brain surgery. We are not happy at all, but we thanks God that the doctors discovered the problem before it was too late (stroke).
We are ok, thank you. But the weather seems to go mad. Every day is a storm and big rain. We hate thunder and we cannot go out because of the rain.
Anyway, we like your pool very much. Poor your mom, all that effort and no reward. Maybe some day you'll be curious to see the pretty draws closer and get inside.
Kisses from Romania,
Lucy, Freddy (the dacksy) and the rest of the pack.

Naqvee said...

lol!

Cappy the Eskie said...

Hi Lorenza - Your Mom HAS to be the BEST. Walking 14 blocks in the heat, carrying the pool ???

We think she should be nominated for *Mother of the Year* ~~ she has our vote.

Hugs and yips,
Cappy and Ollie

Scout and Freyja said...

Lorenza, your momma worked so hard to bring you that new pool, honey. You'd better put on your water wings and start swimming!

Martha said...

Oh Lorenza, your poor mom walked 14 blocks in the heat carrying that pool!
She cut the side so you could get in and out easily........!
Get in that pool and like it!
love and kisses

Sketching with Dogs said...

Oh No!!
Lorenza, you must have the best mum in the world to do all that for you.
How could you not like your pool?
We are sure you will get used to it and that naughty bird will not be able to break it.
Wags, Dip Bridge and Elliot xx

Kate said...

What a well trained Mum you've got!

Sorry the pool isn't working out, I think you should persevere with it given your Mum walked 28 blocks for you to have it!

What a naughty bird, destroying your good pool like that! Must of had a bad day in the nest!

Niamh said...

We go in pools like that and they are just fine Lorenza! If you try it you will like it. Maybe your mom can throw some treats in it so you can get used to it.

Your friends,
Niamh & Ambrose

Marg said...

Oh no Lorenza, you just have to like it. Your mom worked really hard, risked heat stroke etc. to get that pool for you. Why don't you just try it??? A ramp is a good idea. You probably don't like having to step in there. That is very sad. Poor Mom.

3 doxies said...

Oh Lorenza, I'm laughing so hard as I paw at da 'puter. You expression is priiiiceless. We doxies likes what we likes and don't likes what we don't...very hard to change our minds. It's that stubborn quality we possess...hehehe!
I can't believes your mom walked 14blocks...hehehehe. Did hers borrow your pool?

Unknown said...

Lorenza,

I thinks your new pool is pawsome and so is your mom!

My Mind's Eye said...

Lorezna...my friend you just need to find a way to enjoy that pool.....my word after all you mom went through to bring it home by foot in 110 degrees. Now that being said I can truly sympathize with you for you see I do not like new things very much either. Sometimes it takes me weeks to cozy up to something new.
It is a very nice pool and I'm confident you'll be romping in it soon,
Madi

Ruby and Penny said...

Oh Lorenza, your mom walked 14 blocks twice so you could have a pool. We think you should give it a try again.
Love Ruby & Penny

Rufus and Indie said...

Your mom did that for you? WOW!
And your pool is so cute!

Mack said...

Maybe give the new pool a try?? Mom worked awfully hard to get it!!

Sugars,

Jake of Florida said...

Lorenza,

Your mom went to all that trouble to bring the pool home and you've turned up your nose at it?

You know we love you -- and your mom -- so don't be mad if we say that we think you should be licking her hand and not pouting!!!

Give it a try, OK?

Wirey love,

Jake and Just Harry

Fred said...

Oh no! So sorry about your pool, Lorenza! Birds can be so mean and scary! Hope you get to liking your new one soon.

JB's Big and Small Worlds said...

Oh noes! How could those birdies do that to your pool?
And we are sorry but we laughed at the face you made when you inspected your new pool. Maybe with time you will start to like it?

Cheryl, Indiana, Shingo and Molly said...

You should at least try it, Lorenza. Your moms must have nearly had a heat stroke getting it home to you!!! We love our plastic pool!!

AFSS said...

Maybe you will like it once U get used to it.

Anonymous said...

Lorenza you have the Most AMAZING and LOVING Mom! 14 blocks! WoW!

I have the exact pool you do, and I am small too, this is what Mel did for me. She found a brick that was as high as the the top of the pool and put it next to the pool and then got a about 4 foot plywood board (free from a construction site) and put it on the brick. It is a low ramp.

On the inside of the pool Mel put a red brick in a plastic container with a lid and filled it up with sand. Now the container stays in place and I don't have to jump in the pool from the top of the ramp!

I just love it. I also like to sun myself on my indoor/outdoor carpeted ramp!

Good Luck. And Lorenza, PLEASE try again with the pool cause your Mom sure did go out of her way for you!

Hugs, Tessa

Mollie Jo and Bobo said...

It is the sign of true doggie pawrents to walk a plastic pool 14 blocks in the 110 degree heat. OH MY!

Southbaygirl said...

Lorenza, your mom walked in that heat with the pool on her shoulder-go in it just once!!! Do you not like the hard plastic? It still has cool water in it! Maybe your mom could put rags or tape along the part she cut to make it more appealing and soft?

Woof

Unknown said...

OMD Lorenza, please reconsider! I mean all that carrying under the hot sun and you're acting all spoiled. What is wrong? Are you worried the bottom will be too slippery? Come on, girlfriend, deep your paws in it at least and then make up your mind.

Kasha said...

Lorenza you better start pretending to love that pool after all of that work on your poor mother. I am not sure I would do that for my child. LOL! I can't believe you even cut it. Here's to you for being the best owner ever!

Scottie the 'Cutie' said...

Oh dear...all the hard work from your Mom! She might be very disappointed...maybe give the pool a chance by getting in when the water is filled in? You never know if you might like it *wink*

Scottie

kalyxcorn said...

Life With Dogs said...

koko said...

Oh no... poor mama. having to lug the pool back only for you to dislike it... perhaps you can give it another try. I'm sure you'll like it eventually.

Licks, hero

Molly the Airedale said...

What a wonderful mom you have to walk all the way in that sweltering heat just to surprise you with a new pool, Lorenza! Humor her - get in! The cool water will feel wonderful!

Love ya lots

Daisy said...

This just proves that dirty birds are No Good! But it also proves that you got a real good mom.

Golden Woofs! SUGAR said...

Your Mommy really loves you a BIG BUNCH, and we are sure that you will learn to love that pool once you get hot enough and get a chance to cool down in it. That's the same kind that we have, and we LOVE ours! BG
