With summer came hot weather and the shedding of their shaggy winter’s coat. Then a strange blue bowl appeared in their pen. Mabel and Ella filled it with water. Was it a giant water dish? The water tasted good, but the children jumped in the bowl in their bare feet. They splashed around, and said, “Come on Arnold, try the pool!”
We had also left an old dog house, Arnold’s former home, in the pen, and it was so rainy that summer that the bottom of the doghouse had filled with water. It was so rainy that a giant frog had even moved into the doghouse. One day, the family noticed that Arnold and Tillie were wet, but they hadn’t been in the wading pool. They had made their own pool and were soaking in the doghouse. Soon, the pigs realized that they could soak their trotters in the blue pool too. Now they had two pools, the one we bought and the one they made.
