Iām so glad you were right there to help her! I was washing dishes a couple of months back, with Button on my shoulder. Of course, Iāve done this countless times over the years. That day, for whatever reason, he decided he wanted to jump down into the soapy water. When he realized he couldnāt touch the bottom, he started to panic. I scooped him out within seconds, rinsed the soap off, and dried him in a towel. Poor guy was much the same as Joey, very scared and quietly snuggled in to us the rest of the night. He was very clingy for a couple of days after that. These little ones can drown very quickly in just a small amount of liquid. Iām so happy little Joey is okay!
