Inflatable of the Day 4/7
15For today, we have a mass-produced inflatable, the BigMouth Corgi Sprinkler. These are available through several online retailers for about $60. He’s a cute enough toy on his own, but he also has a water sprayer in the tip of his tail! You just connect a standard garden hose to the receiver on his belly, turn on the water, and you have a fun shower to run through on hot summer days. The corgi may not be explicitly designed for it, but he can hold the weight of an adult on his back, and I’ve found that he is a very comfortable spot to take a nap! Corgi is about 7 feet long, and his tail stands up almost 6 feet when he’s fully inflated. He has a single air chamber, inflated via a large Boston valve on his rump. The company BigMouth produces several other inflatable sprinklers, including a unicorn, a T-Rex, a giraffe, and more. My corgi is named Sonaro, after the ‘fursona’ (furry persona) of the guy who generously gifted him to me!

Oh my gosh, that is too cute!
Love it!
I understand why you love them.
@f00l Oh yeah?
That’s so much fun - do neighborhood kids all want to come play in your yard? (Or adults, for that matter?)
@Kyeh Oh yeah, we have several neighborhood kids who have to stop and say hi to the inflatables whenever they are in the yard! The ‘kids at heart’ really enjoy them, too.
@PooltoyWolf Lucky neighbors!!!
@Kyeh My front lawn is open to all!
@Kyeh @PooltoyWolf hmmm…Orlando area, correct?
@PooltoyWolf do you have them up and on display often or just for special occasions
@Kyeh @llangley Yep!
@tinamarie1974 I try to have at least one inflatable on the lawn at least once per month, but yeah, they also come out for holidays, sometimes dressed approriately!
@PooltoyWolf @tinamarie1974 You’ll have to show us what you do for Easter!
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974 Usually the pink kangaroo comes out
@PooltoyWolf @tinamarie1974 Cool! Can’t wait!
