I don't know how it happened, but I have a sneaking suspision the dog might
have been involved....

The story.

This morning in our area of the world (southern florida) we had lows in the
low 40's  (that's COLD for us).   But because of the cool weather we had our
bedroom slider door open a bit to allow the cool air in while we slept.
This also meant my dear Sabrina cuddled as close as possible to me all night
long.    Its not unusual for us to leave the slider open.  Actually, the
slider has a cat door in it so Sabrina can get onto the lania if the door is
shut.   Her litter is out there, and so is the pool.   She's always
preferred to drink out of the pool than out of any water dish in the house.
Thankfully we do not have to chlorinate our pool much at all.     Anyhow, in
the 4 yrs we've had her, this has never been a problem.

Well, about 7:30am this morning I am woken up to this wet shaking noise.
My first thought is the dog had gotten ahold of something (ya know that dog
shake thing they do to toys ....).   I look over the side of the bed to see
the dog sitting there, and wet spots on the rug.   I look outside and think
"oh crap, Chloe must have gotten a frog that had gotten into the lania and
into the pool."   I get out of bed and look underneath expecting to find a
little tree frog or something, only to see Sabrina there, soaking wet.   I
pulled her out, wrapped her in a towel, then climbed back into bed and put
the covers over us.  (afterall, since the door was open it was about 58
degrees in the house.)   The pool was 75 the other day, until we got this
cold front, and it dropped down to about 65 over night.

We cuddled for a while so she could warm up,   I could tell she was quite
upset about it, and after a few minutes she started hacking and she puked up
her breakfast on me.  (well, thankfull on the towel, not me).

My poor baby.    I kept her warm and then we went into the bathroom where
the sunbeam was shinging in, I opened the shade, put a rug in the middle of
the sunbeam and she laid down and rested there for a couple hours.)

I don't know what spooked her to make her fall in.    Although she has been
a bit tippy on her front leg lately, i think her weight and the 3 legs is
getting to her.    Also, we havent' had rain in ages, so the pool is low, so
she had to lean extra far in to get her drink.

On one hand, I'm sure I'll now be filling up the inside water bowls alot
more often now, I'm sure it will be a long time before she ventures near the
edge of the pool again.

Poor baby.
