Um, I&#8217;m definitely not adding acid to the pool today. Oh, no.&#8221;The pool cleaner then tried to help guide the cow toward an exit, encouraging it as it struggled to climb back out.&#8221;You may want to come over here, buddy. You can&#8217;t get out that way,&#8221; Jonathan can be heard saying.After several attempts, the cow eventually managed to get itself out of the pool.&#8221;You got it. Come on. Oh, come on there. You got it. Let&#8217;s go, let&#8217;s go, let&#8217;s go,&#8221; Jonathan said as he encouraged the animal.The cow escaped without staying in the pool for too long, but it left behind a much bigger job for Jonathan.&#8221;The pool completely got dirty but the cow ended up getting out not too long after that,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Texas pool cleaner encountered some unusual visitors while getting ready for a routine job, but their arrival&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":440117,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[152343,152344,27,29,28],"class_list":["post-440116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-group-of-cows","tag-jonathan-ochoa","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440116\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
