You guys...you nailed it!! Cowboy, as sweet and gentle as he is, is the alpha.  I could just hear Cowboy telling Chester, "Okay, little guy, go save her.  I'll watch from here to make sure that you guys are safe, and, if I nod off, wake me when it's time to eat!"

Honestly, I think Cowboy's first seizure was in the water and he almost drown, so he loves the water as long as all four feet are firmly on the ground.  He did get his share of the treats, so in the end, he thought he helped!! ::)

I think Cowboy pushed Chester and made him go save his mommy.  Why work when you can make the someone else do it for you!  Yea, Cowboy for forcing Chester to live up to his full potential!

I have always loved your boys, but now I am officially going to stalk them!  Chester SAVED you.  I know we are all making fun about it, but something like 18 people have died this season in the water from drowning, just in my local area.  This is such a huge big deal.  Chester may be a Newf at heart, but he may have also been a lil scared.  He jumped in to save his Momma in spite of any fears!  He is a HERO whether you truly needed saving or not.

I think it's cool that Newfs have such instincts. When Rosie was swimming in my parents' pool by herself (which we discovered was not a good idea when we started to see large piles of fur descend to the bottom of the pool), she would actually swim laps and push off from the edge of the pool. It was cute! And when my sisters would go in, she would immediately leave the pool and walk around it like a lifeguard.

Thats awesome that Chester came in after you.
Kali goes absolutly crazy "the life guard" when I am in the water. She'll only go in up to her chest though with the exception of two times before I bought her Float Koat (sp). Both times she was doing her laps when all of a sudden she dove head first into the deep end, she hended up being the one who  needed to be rescued. We'll have to see how next summer goes. Tim
