A sad story...

[DD]

I just got home from my friend's house. I think some of you may remember back in January when I posted that one of this friend's schnauzer's drowned in her pool. Well, tonight was #2. Her female schnauzer (Delta) had one puppy in April--Una Belle. Una Belle was born in her office at our work and we have all watched her grow and be just downright adorable for the last two months. Tonight, my friend let the dogs out when she got home, and just ran in to change clothes and turn on the water in her front yard. When she went back around back, she found Una Belle on the bottom of the pool. She tried CPR but to no avail. Her husband is out of town. I just couldn't stand for her to be alone, so I went over. There was nothing I could do but hug her....my heart is breaking for her. Thanks for this place...so I can get it out.

I am so sorry to hear this, wow. I always thought dogs could automatically swim, instinct. That is just so horrible to have it happen again. Take care of your friend.

So sorry DD. I can't even have pets now - it's just too hard to lose them for any reason, but certainly even more so in such a tragic way as this. My heart goes out to you and your friend.

I am so sorry,DD! Give your friend a big hug for me. I have 2 schnauzer's so I can totally relate. This is just so sad. :roll:

That is so sad. I'm sorry she had to go through that more than once. It's amazing how a moment can change your life. Poor thing, I'll be thinking of her.

I guess they have to learn --she was pretty little. She thinks maybe she just fell in the deep end and was too little to get to the steps. The first one that drowned got stuck under the pool cover. I just feel so sorry for her!

Mine can swim. But the problem is they usually can't get to the side to get out. Schnauzers are usually low to the ground little things. So eventually they just get tired and sadly just give up.

Yep, I think that's probably what happened. Thank you all for your kind words-I will pass them along. I didn't have any words to really comfort her, we just cried together.
Thanks again!

oh that is so true. I was only thinking how you see them in movies and they dog paddle to the shore. This is just too sad.

Oh, I'm so sorry for your friend. It's unbelievable that that has happened to her again.
