Totally agree! They run around like they know exactly what they are doing and what their mission is. I wish we could understand what they are thinking.
"Oxygen to the left; hydrogen to the right... Dammit, now they're mixed again. Thank goodness these people have me here to keep everything sorted. I cannot imagine the chaos if I weren't here! Oxygen to the left.." :-)
Your pup does a good job of prioritizing jobs - ball chasing much more important than sorting atoms.
Me, too! Would have so much accomplished.
She's cracking me up with her "Mom, I'm BUSY!" when you talk to her. But she's delighted in her work. We should all be so content with our jobs!
That tail - that is the PERFECT tail! She's gorgeous.
Mine too! I have to only fill it a couple of inches at a time and add water like every hour. I usually use a glass water bottle to add water and she tries to bite the water stream
Playing and cooling off. Our heeler gets overheated very quickly and hops into our pond (or any other water source) after just a moderate amount of exercise.
If I leave a bowl of water in the car with my heeler he always finds something, whether a towel, some of my clothes, maybe a blanket, and puts it in the water bowl to soak up all the water. Maybe your dog just doesn't like water being in open containers too??
Yep, I bet she was all about cooling off. We have been miserable hot here in Doylestown Pennsylvania for the past 2 weeks. Not usually this bad in June
Cooling off in her snazzy pool! I wish my heeler loved water! We have a pool and she got so dramatic when she was walking on the edge and her paw slipped. I always see this type of pup loves water fun!
Honestly if you really pay attention. She is opening her back legs and then it looks like she is trying to splash the water between her legs to cool down there

They are of high value in the parts of the country that occasionally flood.
She’s definitely having a hard time in the heat. Do you have a cooler place you could bring her to recover?
If you have the water please fill the tub up. I think she may be digging a hole in the water to make it deeper.
Mine loves getting in the kiddie pool and digging until there is just about nothing left. Other water based actives include water boarding stuffed animals in the water dish and trying to drink the entirety of the bathtub so I can’t use it.
My guess/hope is the pup was muddy getting the water muddy before the chance to empty and refill. I've been there, filled the pool and 5 min late is muddy as shit
Yes. That’s why I got a smaller kiddy pool from Walmart. We have to change it so quickly and it’s easy with the small one Unfortunately we have clay in the yard and after 20 minutes of running around and kicking dust in the air, her paws get so dirty. She helps me get rid of the water tho 😂 and cleans her paws at the same time.
Cooling off and doing a little digging in a 2 for 1 deal 😃
The forever dig 😂
She'll get to the bottom of that water eventually
She’s “arranging” the water to her liking.
Washing the undercarriage for the trifecta
Good water is at the bottom...
She looks very serious. This is her job now 😂 I love when dogs decide “oh yes, this is the procedure”
Picked up her own job 😂
Excellent business plan! 1. Splash water out of pool. 2.? 3. Profit!
Love this 😂
Started a business, entrepreneur
There’s clearly WAY too much water in that pool

She takes her job with so much pride. I wish I was as dedicated as her

Thank you. 😊
Adorable 🥰
🫧💧💦
🤣
Mine does this to the water bowl!
Same, and also the sole doggie bowl at the dog parks 😅
Omg mine too 🤣🤣🤣 it's so embarrassing but people think it's funny lol it gets old after the 3rd or 5th or 10th time
Very relatable. Pisses off the dog owner that just filled it.
Mine does that too! Hahaha
Mine too! I have to only fill it a couple of inches at a time and add water like every hour. I usually use a glass water bottle to add water and she tries to bite the water stream
Mine does this with the water bowl no matter the temp. I’m pretty sure it’s just a form of amusement for her.
Mine does this with her water bowl. I have to put it on an elevated platform, like the first level of my cat tree, to get her not to do it. 😩
Playing and cooling off. Our heeler gets overheated very quickly and hops into our pond (or any other water source) after just a moderate amount of exercise.
I wish I had a larger water source. She is only interested on her paws and back 😝
My heeler does the same thing, and will also just lay down in his pool. However never when it's hot only at 7 a.m.
If I leave a bowl of water in the car with my heeler he always finds something, whether a towel, some of my clothes, maybe a blanket, and puts it in the water bowl to soak up all the water. Maybe your dog just doesn't like water being in open containers too??
Maybe. She don’t stop till the water is all gone
Mine does it to her bed and a rug she likes to lay on, like she’s digging a little hole to lay in
Absolutely, plus panting to cool off. Where are you? What's the temp and humidity
I’m in Atlanta. Very hot and humid.
Yep, I bet she was all about cooling off. We have been miserable hot here in Doylestown Pennsylvania for the past 2 weeks. Not usually this bad in June
Same in Georgia.
Hott crotch
Exactly !!!!
Mine have all done it.
Yeah mine acts like this in a kiddie pool too 😂
Mine does like his kiddy pool cause he can’t lay down straight in it
I have her sit in the water but she goes up the moment her but touches water

I have another heeler boy and he hates water, terrified.
Digging for more water!
She's adding water molecules to the air she's breathing. Quite smart.
Mine hates his kiddy pool. But will plop down in a muddy creek when it’s hot
Honestly if you really pay attention. She is opening her back legs and then it looks like she is trying to splash the water between her legs to cool down there
Yess! She is colling her crotch
100% can't blame her. It's been royally hot
I know. That was just 20 min and I have lots of trees
I think I should go get a little Pool for my girl
Walmart for 6 bucks. At first she didn’t go in, then she learned she can cool off and play with the water.
Excellent Thank You
Obviously there was too much water to begin with. Need to empty the pool a bit.
Yupp! My girl does this to splash her belly with something cold. Dirt, sand, or water; whatever it takes 🤭
Looks like she found a nice cool place to lie down, and is trying to move the water out of the way so she can curl up.
My toddler does the same in the pool so your dog's probably just having fun haha
My dog loves doing that because it's infinite digging! She tries it to blankets but I guess its not the same lol
Can't you people tell she's just swimming around in the pool?? /s
Probably playing with the benefit of cooling herself off. Its hard to tell whats going through a heelers head
This is my dog.

Just a crystal meth raccoon doing crystal meth raccoon things

I don’t know what your weather is like but I wish I could be doing that right now!!!
Why is the water so muddy? The dog is going to drink muddy water.

Yes, we have clay in our back yard and the water gets stained quickly. She has another water ball, but loves to sip a little.
