It’s been a hot week here in southern Ohio, and since the humans have spent so much time out there building a Poultry Palace, our golden boy Jaskier (“Kiertings” for short 😂) wants to be out there, too - for about 5 minutes, and then the air conditioning appeals more than company. We had gotten kiddie pools to use as brooders for the chicks who have since outgrown them, and this little bog dog knew exactly what to do when we filled it for him. As soon as the coop is done, we’re taking a beach day!

Image description: An image collage showing Jaskier, a one-year-old Golden Retriever, happily enjoying the cool water in a royal blue kiddie pool in a shady spot on a lawn. The featured image is of Jaskier smiling and panting while laying down in water that reaches his shoulders, and the other 4 images are a series showing him dipping his face into the water for a drink and coming back up with another smile.
