Members of the “Floating Frenchettes,” the world’s first all-canine water ballet troupe, pose during rehearsals for their upcoming exhibition. A spokesdog for the troupe said that, while canine synchronized swimming isn’t officially sanctioned for Olympic competition, they have high hopes for the upcoming games, or the one after that. Or maybe the one after that.

Oh definitely laugh out loud! Please, please, please could this be real? I would write in support of their application to the relevant Olympic governing body!
I dyslexicaly combined Pool and Paddle into Poodle. When I saw “The Floating Frenchettes” I was sure the scroll down would reveal Poodles in bathing suits. FRENCHIES in life vests was WAY more ridiculous. Thank you NTMTOM for a big laugh.
Further evidence that we are cut from the same cloth, Faye: I also combined pool and paddle into poodle.
Phew! Not just me. Poodles is my go to funny word. It’s a poodle. What IS that?!
Faye, have you heard about this exchange between the director, Michael Curtiz, and his prop manager?
Whilst setting up a scene in ‘Casablanca’:
Curtiz: “Wery nice, but I vant a poodle.
Prop master: “But you never asked for one. We don’t have one!”
Curtiz: “Vell, get one.”
Prop master: What color?
Curtiz: Dark, you idiot, we’re not shooting in color!
[A few minutes later, Curtiz is called out to see a standard poodle.]
Curtiz: Vat do I vant with this goddam dog!
Prop master: You said you wanted a poodle, Mr. Curtiz.
Curtiz: I vanted a poodle in the street! A poodle. A poodle of water!
Yup! A poodle! of water.
Labradoodle cracks me up too. It makes me think a dog candelabra.
Dont get me started on Doodlepoodles.
Oh no. I’ve got the oodles now.
Nice SNL shout-out, NOMTOM! I still remember that sketch and giggle over it.

I had forgotten ALL about that bit. Thank you!
That’s what happens when your memory falls SHORT!
OMG, a pack of Frenchies in a pool. I’ve just melted into a puddle.
… in my sweetest dreams I couldn’t have come up with frenchies in life vests. Aaaahh!!!
I would so love to boop each nose!
A few of the pool paddle party pals look a bit pooped. 🙂
I think the second one from the right is asleep.
Someone is definitely going to Caddyshack that pool. Only it’s not going to be a candy bar.
They look like little senior ladies. “Sadie, let’s go for a dunk.” Nothing like a good soak to get the kinks out.
I’m really curious though as to the story behind the pic. That’s a lot of hair in the water filter.
Back in the old Hollywood film-making days, Esther Williams in a flower-bedecked bathing cap would be doing the back-stroke behind the puggies………!
Kick laaaaydieees, kick! *sung out aqua fit styles*
