| Water Safety - CPR Training Thank you to all who have been so kind and supportive to my wife and I in regards to our recent loss of our little Spikie! (Heartbreaking details under: In Memory Of... (R.I.P.) / My Dear Spikie... I Am So Sorry!!) I have been encouraged to share the heartbreaking story of our fatal tragedy with others on an even larger scale than within this format by one of the members here to raise awareness to our pets danger around water. Even though we might think we have trained them and prepaired them in case of an accident, without the security of knowing that we are right there to help should they need it, our little loved ones can forget everything we have taught them in their state of panic and be taken from us in the most terrifying manner imaginable! Perhaps our misfortune will save another little dog from dying the cruel death my poor, sweetheart Spikie did and some good will come from this unfortunate event. Another member enlightened me to something else that made me absolutely sick inside to learn - you can give your pets CPR and possibly turn a tragedy into just a near miss!! I had no idea about this and thinking that since my baby was still floating on top of the water when we found him that he might could have been saved just ads a whole new dimention to the pain and guilt that already fills my mind. To Spikie and everyone here at YT, I can promice you that you will be hearing a lot more from me on this subject as I am determined to make something positive come from this devistating tragedy. Please don't take our pets safety lightly... I did, and I am paying for it with the most haunting memories that one can imagine... |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I now how heartrtbroken you are over the tragic loss of Spikie, and I am glad you are going to keep the awareness going on the dangers of water and our babies. I have a fear of water myself, never having learned to swim despite my parents best efforts and know the panic of being in water over your head. I am going to make sure I have instructions on CPR handy for any emergencies and will do so in Spikie's memory.
