Oops, He Did It Again

The Rescuer, still in her scrubs from looking after dogs all day,
emptying her shoe in the aftermath of looking after Duncan.

It's been all of 12 hours since I posted the fatal words, "He's more careful now" about Duncan and the pool. I should have known better.

Friday. End of the week. Happy hour. Beautiful evening. Sitting on the deck, enjoying a drink. Duncan, also enjoying a drink – from the pool. Me, saying "Don't fall in".

See where this is going?

He moved away. Safe. Then – he turned around and backed up.

Splash!

Megan was the one to jump in and rescue him this time. Luckily, the water is now 22ºC, considerably warmer than the 5º it was last time, but still chilly. Swimming lessons coming soon. Because, although I keep saying how smart he is, he seems to make an exception around water.

Sigh.
