I totally have it.
We bought the dogs a new pool today. It serves as their drinking trough. And something to dip their paws in on a hot day. Well, the one who doesn't hate water, any how.
The babe, as it turns out, loves the water. So, before the dogs utterly trash the new pool, we dipped his feet in. Then his legs, butt, body. He even put his face in a few times and blew bubbles.
Then, he decided he wanted to stand up and lean over the side and touch the grass.
Except, he's head-heavy. And the pool was situated on concrete. And I'm slightly paranoid about him getting injured. (He bumps his head a lot 'cause of all the head-heaviness.)
And so it was that as he slipped in the pool, leaning further over the side, I snatched him up. And he sucked in a big breath and howled his little o-shaped howl. And then, because I am SO awesome, I did it again not 5 seconds later. He was really hurt this time.
I took off his sopping, swollen diaper, then his sleeveless, white onesie. And held him in the towel on my lap. And inspected the damage.
Among scrapes on his other fingers, there was a little pink one on the inside bend of his left index finger, where the skin was peeled.
So sad!
Guilty as charged! :(
