FBGreat Dane "Nessie" Jumps Around on a Covered Pool like a giant waterbed
This is a safety cover! Nessie aka the Loch Ness Monster, a Blue Great Dane, is 140 pounds. Since she was a few months old, she has loved leaping around and resting her bones on this cover. Sometimes we all get on it and play tag with her. : To use this video in a commercial player or in broadcasts, please email licensing@storyful.com So a note about the safety: about twenty years ago when I first got a cover like this, they advertised them with two football teams playing against each other on it. We've had ten to fifteen people on it a few times. Nessie has played on it since she was about three months old. A tornado once smashed my fence and a three storey pine tree into it; never has a hole, a tear, or anything dangerous occurred. I installed this new one and designed this set up specifically to keep animals (and people) safe. I never encourage her or anyone to play on it and prefer it if they don't, however I do trust it when it happens and am always there with Nessie. My only worry is her playing too hard, since Great Danes are more fragile in some ways than people think. They have statistically short lives, which is tragic. Nessie's health, wellness, and safety has and always will be a top priority, because I love her and want to give her the longest, fullest life possible. Hence, I'm going to ignore the negativity by responding to specifics. She's safe! Please enjoy her, she's beautiful inside and out- I think her sheer joy and exuberance says it all.
