    Emma almost drowned the other day!!

    This must have been so scary!!! My mother and Reinhold are currently on vacation on their favorite island in the North Sea, and, as usual, they took Emma with them, who always enjoyed playing on the beach.

    This time, it's really cold and the sea was frozen. According to my mom who told me about this on the phone, Emma jumped onto some ice floe, but it broke and Emma fell into the ice cold water!! First, she struggled to get out there, but eventually she managed. But how scary is that?! Even if the water wasn't deep enough to be completely under water (my mother wasn't sure about this), it must have been so cold that she could have died of a heart attack, or shock as well! Poor Emma!!

    As soon as she got out there, they went with her to the next Café where she was placed next to the heater so she could warm-up again. It's a couple of days ago now, and she's fine. I think she was really lucky, and I hope she'll avoid the ice floes from now on.

    Here are some new pics of her btw:

    Beautiful girl, goodness that must have been scary.

    Emma, sweetheart, check the mirror - you are NOT a polar bear! Leave the ice floes from critters better suited for them, okay?

    That's scary alright. I would have been in the panic mode for sure.

    Glad that she is fine and none the worse for her experience.

    Oh wow, that must have been so scary. That frigid water would sap
    all her strength very quickly. I am so glad she got out of there quickly.
    Please don't do that again Emma, wait for summertime.

    Yes, scary indeed! I'm glad I didn't have to witness this, I guess I would have freaked out!

    She always enjoyed the water. This was her on a previous vacation:

    Very Scary,Im so happy she is ok!!!I panic in situations with the pups,I know i would go in after them,and probably drown myself...I know i wouldnt be of any help to them.I would be to busy screaming bloody murder.

    This summer we had our boat docked at the docks in a little town 5 minutes away.Now take in WE WERE NOT EVEN MOVING,Maggy got the notion to jump off the boat.Picture this ok..I was fully dressed i dont ever remember diving out of the boat it happend all too fast,Anyways i had sandals on and they got caught in the seaweed.Maggy had already been lifted back on to the swim platform and was watching me with intrest ofcourse..Wondering What my problem was.Im strange that way,I thought she bounced off the cement wall that is why i was in panic mode,When telling a friend..She joked about getting me a life jacket,and said,"You know dogs do swim"..It was very embarassing as people were all standing watching the comotion,Thankfully it was no one who knew me lol.Lesson learned though...

    She's such a pretty girl. I love her big soulful brown eyes.
