- (HRH) Her Royal Highness Princess Gracie & Princess Amelia Pond (Amy)
Ok we knew it was a possibility and it happened. Princess Gracie went swimming this morning. We were both right there when it happened because until a fence get's put up we are not letting her out in the yard alone at all. I was cleaning up after her..and Bruce was feeding the fish. We had blocked off access to the deck and that's where Bruce was standing. Apparently Gracie decided that the pond was an access point to get on the deck to where he was and suddenly there was a splash. Followed quickly by Bruce's splash when he jumped in to get her out. A temporary barrier is already in place that Bruce installed today, and a fence will be installed this weekend. Until then (and likely even afterwards, Gracie will not be out in the yard unattended)
Our pond isn't super deep varying from about 8" around the edges to 2 1/2' at the deepest point, and she did actually dog paddle and kept her head above water in the seconds it took Bruce to jump in and pull her out.
