I had a dog somehow slip UNDER a pool cover in the winter and for the life
of me I have no idea how that happened, all I know is that if I hadn't been
standing there in the yard to see it and hadn't gone in to save him he would
have drowned. I would have thought he had run away and tragically found
him dead the following spring when I reopened the pool. As it was he
almost killed me trying to get him out in his panic. From that time on I
trained my dogs to NEVER come near the pool even if we were in it. I was
very harsh and very firm about that and we always kept a small fence around it,
even in our fenced yard. We treated them like toddlers who weren't responsible
for the decisions they made.
