If you have an uncovered or non enclosed pond or pool in your back yard...PLEASE FENCE or COVER them....My best friend's Yorkie fell in her mom's pond(he will be ok) Who knew that baby cpr would work on a dog.

We were all sitting in her moms yard when Rocky disappeared for less than 5 seconds, we all got up looking for him and he wondered off around the corner, fell in the pond after the Koi fish. I did baby cpr to try to get the water out of his lungs but it wasn't that much in there, but we still went to the Vet, around 6:35pm..... The vet said he must have just fell in when we found him, and that he was going to be fine. They gave him some mediceine for the water in his ears...And sent him on his way....He is doing great now.....before you all think we are crazy, it was in the 80's here today.

As most of you know, I dog sit for Rocky on occasion and he is why I AM getting one of my own. I was so scared for him, just like I was his mommy...I am happy he is ok. Rocky is a natural sweetheart, I wish his Breeder was still around.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL
