Escape(s) from the Puppy Pool

[A note from Pearl's 'humans']  
After a couple days of peering with curiosity over the edge of the puppy pool, the pups finally decided to investigate what was on the other side.

Alaric was the first to make the 'leap' (though, it wasn't so much a 'leap' as a couple minutes of hauling with his front paws and scrambling with his hind paws).

As you can see from the photo below, Alaric sort of went head first. Unfortunately, we don't have a photo of his 'landing', with him looking initially dazed ('so, I'm out, now what?') and then a little proud of himself.

We also have no pictures from the next day when three more of the puppies proceeded to scramble out as well, because we were too busy scooping them up and putting them back. They were hardly 'popping' out of the pool, but they did make several escape attempts over the course of a couple days. Fortunately, the effort of each escape was too much for them to attempt more than once in any play period.

As a result of the puppies' adventures, they will be moving to the 'x-pen' enclosure later today!
