Hello! My name is Kittle, and I’m a pied black and white French Bulldog. Ma named me after her favorite football player, 49ers tight end George Kittle. I think that’s a pretty good indication I’m her favorite, too. When I first came home, it was just me and my Chihuahua sister, Bailey. She’s older and keeps to herself, so I was in charge. Then Ma decided to bring all these other Frenchies home! First came Walter and Rex. They’re almost 1 now and a couple of goofballs. The baby, Harlie, came a few months later. She’s only 6 months old and thinks she runs the place. I keep trying to tell Ma these dogs can go back to where they came from. After all, I was here first. But they keep sticking around.
Create a Slip-and-Slide! Want to Entertain the Kids This Summer?
During the summer, there’s nothing better than jumping into a pool to cool yourself off. However, if you don’t have a pool, the next best thing might just be creating your own slip-and-slide! Here’s how you can make yours so you can keep having fun in the sun while staying cool. Step 1: Purchase the necessary items. You can buy a 10-by-25-foot roll of plastic sheeting at home improvement stores for under $30. Choose 6 mil so it can withstand everyone running and sliding on it. Then, you want to get 10 regular-size pool noodles and one large pool noodle. Construction supplies you’ll need are Velcro tape, scissors, two hose sprinkler attachments, and several landscape staples. Step 2: Begin building your slip-and-slide. Once you have all the needed supplies, start by rolling the plastic sheet onto a relatively flat surface free of rocks, sticks, and any debris that could puncture the plastic or injure you and your family. You can cut the plastic to any length you like — you may want one long slip-and-slide, or you can create several smaller ones so you can play games. After rolling out the plastic sheeting, lay the pool noodles down on each side of the plastic and place the larger pool noodle on one end of the sheet. Wrap the plastic sheet around the large pool noodle, use Velcro tape to secure the plastic around it, then do the same for the other pool noodles. These will act as barriers so people won’t slide off the plastic.
So, I make sure they know I’m in charge. Walter and Rex are easy because they’re not as smart as I am. They always try to steal my cuddles with Ma, but I can keep them under control. They know I’ll tell Ma if they don’t listen to me! Harlie is more of a challenge. She’s very smart and can hold her own with us big boys. I have to keep my eye on her.

Once everything is wrapped and taped, place landscape staples on the four corners of your waterslide and a few along the sides to secure it. Finally, set up your sprinklers on either side of the slip-and-slide. If you want the surface to be extra slick, drizzle some dish soap onto the plastic. Step 3: Slip, slide, and splash! Now, it’s time to have fun in the sun! The possibilities are endless regarding what you can do with your DIY waterslide. So, let your creativity flourish! Will you be creating your own slip-and-slide this summer? We would love to know the games you and your family play on your DIY waterslide!
