Sausage is living MY best life!
This is Sausage. His humans got him his very own swimming pool and he's obsessed with it. We asked them if he swims every day and they said, “Every single day. He follows us around the house until we take him outside AND sit and watch him. If we’re not there he won’t swim." 14/10 good for him
