Swimming Sheepie

Hey Guys! I've been a lurker for a couple of months now. I love reading your sheepie stories.

Yesterday we were at a my a friend's house. They have an large pool. My sheepie, Guin (Guinevere) was playing happily with a lab around the pool. My friend turned to me and said "She won't try to go in the pool, will she?" and I replied "Oh goodness no, she doesn't like to swim." The moment the words were out of my mouth, Guin stepped out into the pool, onto a piece of pool cover that was floating on top of the water. Poor girl didn't know what had happened. Pandemonium ensued. I had to jump in, to save the pool liner from my frantically flailing sheepie. Guin unintentionally mauled me while I was dragging her to the pool steps. Two minutes later she was back to play time.

That was our excitement for the weekend. A few black bruises and nasty scratches later, all is well!

8O Whew! Good thing you were right there to help. Guin, hunny, don't do that again! :phew:
oh no- just like you learn in Lifesaving swim classes - your victim you are trying to save doesn't always cooperate!

Glad both of you are OK.
It was a good thing you there.
Gah, a new thing to panic about! Despite the heat right now, I am happy we got rid of our backyard pool. Happy it all ended well. Was she scared of the pool after that?
Glad all are ok!
Sorry... I didn't mention before. Guin can swim just fine... she doesn't like swimming at all. :lol:
