What do Thursday Fiberglass Pools and dogs have in common? They both love water. Thursday Fiberglass Pools and dogs go well together. Dogs can swim in the pool without worry, not like your neighbors vinyl liner pool. Strong and durable fiberglass is harder than a dogs nail, so if your dog takes a dip it won’t poke a hole through the wall or steps. Have fun with your kids and pets this summer with a Thursday Fiberglass Pool in your backyard. Ed Vondell – Thursday Pools LLC – 1/14/13
