All this cold water talk goit me to thinking about a day a few years ago.
I hunt frequently where I have to block a jogging path on a state park to put my boat in the water. It was verry cold with ice
making when I returned to take out. I was met by an elderly woman who was interested in my ducks(I usually hide them) and she
asked if I HADE my dog go into that cold water! I told her I did not, at that second I heard a splash and My guy Jeb had jumped into
the bay and was just swimming around. That was the same dog who just a couple hours earlier had been sent on a bird that sailed
100 yards before it died. The line from the blind took him close to our boat. He took a great line to the boat,sat in it,and looked back
at me. I went out,started the boat and took him to the bird. He knew I never shoot that far!!
He's not a chessie but he loves cold water, MOST OF THE TIME!! John
