Dear Ironman, I am so, so sorry. Know that sharing with us will, at the very least, help us all be more vigilant. We too have taught Ted to swim to the stairs in the pool; yet no one here at home seems to believe me when I tell them that he will panic if he falls in. Today I read the family Spike's story. I can only pray that the sadness I saw in their faces today will forever remind them to shut the gate to the pool. Spike's memory will save many loved yorkies. You take care. It may be Spike came with a message and his job was completed and his message will be spread. It certainly touched this family. God bless you, your wife, Gypsy, and lovely Spike. He obviously was loved and cared for by you personally. He was a lucky little guy. |
