What are the chances that I would capture this action while I was exercising in the pool? But, I had noticed a large golden-orb weaver spider on my neighbor’s wall and although I knew it was too far away to get a good photo, I was listening to an Audible book and the phone was in reaching distance, so I thought I’d try. Coco and Zoe jogged over to check out my action and this is what resulted. Since i was holding the camera in my hands, I captured most of it, other than the recovery action which meant I had to set the camera down. Please click on photos to enlarge and read the story.
The picture of the spider was barely worth capturing, but I had to try.
Coco and Zoe trotted over together. to see what I was doing,
Zoe was the first to decide to leave the other side of the pool and to come closer.
Coco was a bit slower in the action.
But after Zoe started out,
Coco soon joined her on my side of the pool.
Zoe had a look around
and moved a bit away from Coco,
but Coco soon joined her
and was up to her usual hijinks.
The problem was, they were a bit too close to the edge of the pool for such antics
with this sad result. Zoe, misbalanced by Coco’s head under her tummy, splashed into the pool
And Coco soon followed her. Coco was able to get herself out of the pool,
but after two failed efforts by Zoe, I lifted her out. Good thing I was there. This is the first time this has happened.

Always a problem when dogs can not get out of the pool.

I did build steps for them but have to make sure the little dogs know where they are.

Eek — could have been a disaster — but I have to admit that this story made me laugh out loud! Except that Zoe couldn’t get out of the pool, after about half the story I anticipated her being flipped into the water. What will they get into next?

I’m sure there will be other stories for sure, Janet.

Perfect title. I see your other dog came out to possibly help with Zoe’s rescue?

Yes. I need to take Zoe in on purpose to show her the way to the steps.

The wide-eyed look of shock on Coco’s face when Zoe went in the pool is priceless 😂
