Ok folks,
Anybody got a Pyr who thinks he/she's in the Winter
Olympics? We have a little goldfish pond near us, on the route where I let my
two dogs off the leash to run and romp around, and Sugar, my Pyr, has walked out
on the ice several times now. The first time, I couldn't believe it and was
scared to death. I screamed her name and she came right back to me. Then
yesterday, when I thought surely the ice was gone, she trotted right out on it,
ignored my calls, and walked very gracefully. Then she sashayed her whole self
across the whole (small) pond. I didn't breathe. I just hoped her instinct was
good and she could sense that the ice was thick enough to hold her. I couldn't
believe it didn't crack. The pond isn't very big or deep, but still I think I
need a plan here, in case we have an accident. I have no experience with such
things, being a native Floridian now living in N.C. Any thoughts, suggestions?
Is this funny or dangerous?
