Kati fell in the pool......or was she pushed??

Wondered what would bring me back to posting and it seems that Kati falling in the pool today is it. The pool is fenced off and for most of the time inaccessible..........however, when i mow i open the gate and the kids eat flowers and run around. I always look that way when mowing and make sure the water is not moving......well today it was moving and more of a splash i would say. Since the temps have changed, Kati and Dobie have been playing chase like wild banshees and i am guess Kati cut her corner just a bit short.............or she was looking over the edge as she does and Dobie came up behind her and pushed!!

Anyway, she was in the deep end struggling as you would expect. I got her by the collar and then picked her up and away we went to the towel. I did not take the time to notice how interested Dobie was in that she be saved. She was pretty amazing!! Got her all dried off, and away she went............running around like any wet pup does and then back over to the edge of the pool looking at the scene of the crime. Wish it were a bit warmer as i would have gotten in with her and given a lesson on the steps again. She was not the least bit concerned about her little dip and was back chasing Dobie in a matter of minutes.

Word to the wise..........thinking a little dog wont fall into the pool at one time or another is foolish!! Protect your little four legged friends from drowning. It will save you some unnecessary heartache.

Rock on Kati, swimmer girl!! And more updates to come..........i am back in the groove!!
