Roxy must have been a little jealous that Jacob got all the attention yesterday and needed to create a little excitement of her own. She thought a good way to do that would be to run after some geese on the pond and break through the thin ice. She was about 20ft from the shore and her whole body went all the way under. Aaron was with her at the time and said that Roxy came up with the biggest "Oh shit!" look on her face. The pond is only about chest deep at it's deepest point, so Aaron tried to stomp through the thin ice and walk out into the cold water to get her thinking the whole time "I'm going to be one of those idiots who die trying to save their dog", but nonetheless still going out after her. Miraculously, Roxy kept attempting to swim back to shore and was able to climb back up on the ice and back to Aaron (who was only about knee deep at this point). She shook vigorously, then ran to a big open area and rolled in the snow. So by the time I saw her, she looked like a big snow ball.
Scoreboard:
