Frankie’s guide to beating the heat

During your morning walk, find a baby pool on someone’s lawn marked “FREE”. Grab it with your teeth and don’t let go until you’re in the middle of the road. Then jump in it and don’t get out until your person agrees to take it home. Help your person carry it home with a side-ways mouth grab, while getting tangled in the leash.

Don’t draw attention to you and your person carrying a pool into your condo building. There’s got to be a by-law against pools on balconies, and you and your person like to fly under the strata council radar.

Once in apartment, grab onto it and don’t let go. Play an over-excited game of keep away from your person until you get stuck in a doorway. Let go when your person offers you a frozen treat in your crate. Immediately forget about pool until your person sets it up after work.
