Sierra’s Moonlight Swim

Wednesday night around 2 a.m., Dusty started whining wanting to go out. He wasn’t insistent and sometimes he will lay back down and go to sleep. But not this time! Finally, at about 2:40, I got up, put on my robe & got the keys to open the iron work out back. Dusty headed for the grass while Sierra sniffed around the pool. On the far side of the pool she stopped abruptly. She took a step back and woofed – looking intently at something on the ground. It was a very large snail – probably the size of a ping pong ball. She edged toward it and I don’t know if it moved or what, but she lept backwards and her back feet slipped into the pool! She was able to grab the side with her front paws. I was able to get her collar and help her out, but not before she was soaking wet! Lucky for me she was courteous enough to walk several feet away before shaking off. But needless to say, I was wide awake by that time. Maybe I should have gone for a moonlight swim too?

Here are some fun pictures of the pups – during the day – enjoying the pool (on their terms!) and the yard.
