I put a mannequin in the pool for oatmeal to lean on instead of me

Summary A frustrated pet owner (Adria) attempts to solve the problem of her dog Oatmeal scratching her while using her as a “human pool ladder” by introducing a life-sized mannequin replica—“Plastic Adria”—to serve as a substitute support in the pool. The chaotic, humorous experiment involves outfitting the mannequin with a swimsuit, struggling to submerge her (she floats, farts, leaks water, and loses her head), gradually acclimating Oatmeal to her presence, and ultimately achieving partial success—Oatmeal does briefly use the mannequin instead of Adria—before the plan unravels due to the mannequin’s physical hazards and logistical nightmares. Highlights 🤖 Adria builds and deploys “Plastic Adria”—a custom mannequin—to replace herself as Oatmeal’s pool-standing aid, but the doll proves unwieldy: she loses her head, floats uncontrollably, leaks pool water from her “booty cheeks,” and even “farts” when submerged. 🐕 After cautious introduction and treat-based conditioning, Oatmeal surprisingly accepts the mannequin—and actually uses her to stand and retrieve toys, giving Adria a fleeting moment of freedom (“I’m free! I’m free!”). 🚨 The mannequin backfires physically: her metal base swings wildly and cuts Adria’s leg, causing bruising—ironically replicating the very scratches she was meant to prevent. 🍕 Mid-experiment absurdity peaks with pizza delivery, “Crusty Carl” pooping nearby, diarrhea commentary, bee interruptions, and Plastic Adria awkwardly joining the lunch—despite being soaked, leaking, and emotionally unresponsive. ❌ Adria concludes the mannequin solution is impractical—too heavy, dangerous, and high-maintenance—and openly asks viewers for better ideas to stop Oatmeal from scratching her in the pool.
