Dog retrieves on the ice?

[tjwatty]

I'm glad you and Nitro both made it out. I don't take Cricket with me when it gets icy just so I won't be tempted. I'm not sure either one of us would be smart enough to stay off. That is/was one of my fears back in the day when I had Brittany's. My older dog would have gone anywhere to retrieve and there was no stopping him. Maybe my lab is smarter but I doubt it.
I did have my lab tangled in decoys so bad I had my coat off and was heading for the door when she made it to shallow water. I, like you, was not going to watch my baby drown. At least not with out me. That's also one of the reasons I take a change of clothes along.
I'm glad you both made it.
