Father and Son Golden Retrievers’ Swimming Pool Patience Pays Off with a Splash! (WATCH) – Twitchy

Two Michigan golden retrievers are doing swimmingly now that their backyard pool is back in business. Tucker and Todd, a furry father and son doggie duo, are making a splash on social media now that warmer weather is here. 

But it’s been a long wait, especially for Tucker. (WATCH)

The wait is finally over! pic.twitter.com/a4KQXX9RCe

The best thing I have watched on the internet in awhile!

Now I’m also feeling happy.

We are, too!

Commenters instantly felt a canine connection since they own equally eager doggies.

Mine run out on the loop lock cover and wait for it to dip into the water and then drink. I caught Augie chasing his tail on it once. They think it’s a big bouncy toy.🤣

When we had a house built, we cut back on many things but said we had to have a pool. The builder suggested we add it later. We said, “Our goldens would never forgive us!”

First house i bought had to have a pool because of my Lab……he grew up in a pool…..he used it everyday!!!!!

We have 6 dogs who use our pool as a really really big water bowl. None of them actually swim. A couple sit on the top step to cool down. 🙄 I would love to have them swim.

Unfortunately, some pooches don’t like going in the water.

Posters didn’t like Tucker’s plight of having to wait so long to take a delightful dip. They suggested solutions so that Tucker and Todd can swim all year round.

Get then a heating unit for the winter let them swim..

I have a heated pool, no way could I afford to run that 24/7 in the winter but I certainly would love to

Id definitely work a second job to afford a pool heater for those cute faces

You need to move those dogs to a warm state so they could swim all year! 🐶 🐾 🐶

You guys need to move to Florida for your dogs!! 🦩🌺🍹🌴

Move these dogs to Texas – year round swimming.

Dogs love the Lone Star State.

You may think only large dogs like getting wet, but someone posted this hilarious video of a tiny pup doing a daring dive. (WATCH)

We do, too! They’re great for raising our spirits after a day filled with bad news.

Posters can’t stop smiling along with Tucker and Todd.

The frown was serious until the pool opened for business. Instant smiles 😂
