Also, something many of you might be able to relate to, is dogs on the ice. They don’t know any better. If the ice is questionable, don’t risk it. Leave them home or in the truck.
Good advice Omaha. I had to rescue one of my dogs once when ice out was occuring, we were going for a walk and she wandered out on to the ice shelf and went through and couldn't get back up on the ice. Many years ago my folks also had one of their dogs drown in shallow water where the heat pump from the house discharged water into their pond, no one saw her go in the water. We think she walked out onto the the ice near the dock to get a drink, went in and then couldn't get back out.
