I’m Golden Happy Wet Dog.
Playing in the water was a great way to keep cool.
LOVED splashing water from my doggie pool.
Did you know as a Golden Retriever I have “double coats.”
My top coat insulates the heat and provides Golden Protection against the powerful rays of sun. Yes, it can be uncomfortable during hot days. However, having “double coats” helps me to keep Golden Cool. Also, having my fur free from mats provides me a Golden Breeze as I move.
Lots of Golden Woofs,
i see sugar pie is having fun on the kiddy pool =0] what a great weekend …

Great way to keep cool, Sugar!
XXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella
Sugar, you have a beautiful coat–I think all goldens do, and I just don't understand why people shave their Goldens in the summer….
Sugar you look cool as a cucumber there, we have a double coat too – although not as long and silky as yours 🙂 Dex & Lou x
You are beautiful Sugar! Love Billy
God did great work when creating the different animals and humans, didn't he? My dog has two coats too.
Looks like you found the trick to staying cool! We are in for a warm week!
Your pal, Pip
Love your happy smile in your cool pool! We know the advantages of having a double coat as well! Ozzie, BTW, is with an incredibly generous neighbor, who Oz loves and we see her and play every day – thank you so much for asking!
Big Hugs xoxoxo
Sammie and Avalon
You look nice and cool Sugar!
Great tips!
You do look nice and cool Sugar and we are jealous of your pool!
You're just golden all the way around, Sugar!
Happy, Waggin' Tails, FUREVER!
Stumpy and me
I would LOVE to cool in your pool with you!!
Oh Sugar, you look sooo cute!!
Around here, only Jack loves water…
Have a nice wek!
Yep. Sugar, That is the perfect way to keep cool!! Happy Monday!!

Looks like fun!
Sugar, you look beautiful all of the time!! Stay cool!! Lots of love, Holly & Mom
I wish we could get our dog into a kiddie pool. It looks like such a great way for dogs to cool off on super-hot days and avoid heat stroke. I'll have to show her your photos in hopes it will change her mind!
Riley likes to play in the kiddie pool, too, but we have to keep Chloe inside when Riley plays in it because Chloe tries to go after Riley and get her out of the pool! Chloe gets very possessive of the pool and doesn't let Riley in.
Looks like you were having lots of fun and that's a perfect way to keep cool! Riley also has a double coat, and she gets pretty hot in the summer because she has black fur.
We just got back from having professional pictures taken of Riley! She did really well. We got a few pictures in her St. Patty's bandanna and 4th of July bandanna that we got from you! She looked good in them!
I met a small female Golden in VA Beach on Friday night that was a guide dog in training. She was 16 months old and goes in for formal training when she is 18 months old. She was very sweet and reminded me of you–same color and everything!
Have a great week (sorry this comment was so long!).
Elyse and Riley
Ahhh….looking at you just made us cool down.
We have to remind mom/dad to get our pool out too.
Stay cool Sugar. Nice to hear from you!
Hugs,
Sam & June
Shelties have the same type of coat. We tried to get Bailey and Katy to try a misting station at the walk yesterday, but no go.
We have not tried the Kiddie pool yet. I have to talk to Dad to see what he thinks about the process.
You are one cool dog, dawg!!
AROOOOF!
Boondocks
That looks like a great way to stay cool Sugar! I have an undercoat too so I don't like it when it gets above 60 degrees out.
Woos,
Sadie
It's not really been warm enough here to have a kiddie pool for the chi's. Glad you got to enjoy some time in one though, Sugar!
I did know some breeds have double coats but I wasn't aware that Golden Retrievers was one of them.
We have double coats here too. We wonder why so many golden owners shave their dogs in the summer, when the undercoat is there to keep them cool. With the heat here, we sure could use one of those little pools. Mom used to have one but had nowhere to store it:(
Happy Cooling Off Day, Sugar.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
Your coat sure is beautiful Sugar and that pool looks like lots of fun! We're glad you keep cool with all of that luxurious fur. I myself do not like to be brushed and love rolling my entire 9 lb body in all the stinky stuff I can find-so the momma makes me get haircuts.
Sugar the Who
You are so smart to hang out in your pool on hot days, Sugar!
Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch
You look so happy in your pool. I have never liked getting in any kind of water.

I know Mesa can't wait for her new pool

Duke says you have the right idea about keeping cool. He likes the way you think Sugar 🙂
Now THAT'S the way to enjoy the day! Stay cool my friend!
Woofs & hugs,
~Bailey
Oh Sugar, these next couple of days are supposed to be pretty warm. As a matter of fact it's still 90 degrees out now, and it's past 8:30pm! Try to stay cool, my friend!
Hey Sugar!
Wow, how pawesome that you have your own pool! That's perfect for a warm retriever on a hot day. You're fur is golden and special! Cute pix of you.
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
We know for a fact:
A wet Retriever is a happy Retriever!!!
Wet looks good on you Sweet Sugar.
xoxo
A nice splash sure is a pawesome way to stay cool during these very hot days, right?
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
Yep, hot here too. Glad to see you've found a smart way to keep cool, Sugar!
P.S. Love that photo of you by your picture:-)
Our Mama says she's going to set up a doggy pool for us! She says she'll even get in it with us so we don't feel scared! We can't WAIT to see that!
hey Sugar,
What a fun and smart way to cool off during a hot day! It looks like you had a blast, and you certainly look cute all wet in your pool!
Suka
Pool time is perfect for a warm day.
Good for you Sugar! Pool time is the best on hot days 🙂
Waggin at ya,
Roo
WET DOG SMELL… oh ya!! Stay cool Sugar!
You're one lucky pup to have a nice pool and like water. George gets hot quickly because he hasn't got much fur, but he also hates water, so no chance of cooling him down with a splash!
Didi
miss sugar,
i'm glad you are stayin' cool 'n refreshified in your doggie pool!! my mama tries to get me to try those pools out, but for some reason they give me the jibblies! i like gettin' a squirt down with the hose better. 🙂
