Archie most likely
saved Dixie's life last weekend. My brother came up from Atlanta to visit my
mom for Easter and brought Dixie, the puppy I gave him for Christmas or at
least 3/4, my mom paid the rest.
Archie can swim now
but Dixie cannot. She sinks. My mom said she probably doesn't have her
undercoat yet and subsequently gets waterlogged when she gets in the pool.
My brother had let
the two babies out to play while he stayed inside. Sometime later, my brother
could hear Archie barking like mad. Archie has a big-boy bark now. He no longer
yaps or whines like a puppy.
Archie kept barking
and barking much to the annoyance of my brother. When he went outside, he saw
his girl clinging for dear life to the edge of the pool. Not only can Dixie not
swim, but she does not know how to get to the pool steps to get out. My mom had
trained Archie to go to the steps in the times he has fallen in the pool. A lesson he learned well because
during that time, Archie had gotten in the pool but had made it to the steps
and got out.
Dixie may have
drowned that day. That little boy is a hero!
