squeeze herself through the pipe and got into Hi Shannon I am so sorry - trust me I know what you and your family are going through. It can happen in a split second. Koi ponds and pools are very dangerous. Yesterday alone I had two calls from people telling me of their losses, both dogs drowned - in the last few weeks. Very sad. It sometimes happens even if you get the dog/pup out in time, if it has swallowed water, that it dies a few days later from the chemicals injuring the lungs. Thank you for sharing this very sad experience, hopefully it makes people just that little bit more cautious. I will put your baby on the Rainbowbridge.
Thinking of you. God Bless Joyce
