The dogs have taken their first dips of the season in Lake Rosseau this week. I can attest to how cold it is: there was a 12 foot 4x4 beam floating near shore, and it had nails sticking out of it, so yours truly needed to wade in and haul it out of the way before the dogs could swim. My legs were screeching in pain after that impromptu ice bath. Arwen seems to be not at all bothered by the cold; Soleil's more along the lines of one and done, then back ashore to squelch her ball while the young'un continues swimming.
