Well yesterday it was pretty nice out...meaning about 42 degrees or so...so we went to visit my friend and her Lab. This little lab is Ozzy's best friend, she is so sweet and gentle with him. Well we were out in the yard and the dogs where playing and we decided to head down to their pond. I put Ozzy's leash on because I didn't want him to follow Cedar into the pond, which had just melted from ice. Well we went down and Ozzy was playing and watching Cedar swim..no big deal. Well my friend says "oh come look at the polywogs" and I stepped close to the pond and I hear a splash! Ozzy jumped in the pond and started swimming! The water was maybe 35 degrees!!! I was so shocked I just hauled him back in by the leash and scooped him up by the harness. We rushed back up to the house rinsed him in warm water and put the blow dryer on him. He was fine but boy it was scary..he's only 17 weeks old! Funny thing is I think he wold have kept swimming if I had let him! Anyway he was no worse for the wear. I stuffed him in my fleece and he was nice and warm again
I think Mommy needs to buy a good life jacket!!
