Excuse me, but why hasn't Phillip's pool been filled?

Phillip specifically needs water

In order to swim.

Phillip knows that some pools have water.

In fact,

Phillip is pretty sure that most pools have water.

Phillip doesn't ask

For much.

Just food and smiles.

And grass.

And a friend who is a poodle.

And a pool that is a pool.

That's what he

Needs.

Along with treats.

And hugs.

And for you to drop half of your hot dog

By accident.

Phillip is putting on a brave face.

Phillip is trying to make the best

Of a bad pool.

Phillip is an inspiration.

And inspirations deserve pools.
