August 6, 2025,Lac de Lessoc 💦🐕🦋

For the second lap, I coaxed Teddy to go to the water... nothing... only when I said the word "ice" did he crawl out from under the car. 😂😂
But then he bucked like a 🐏, just didn't want to walk.
But at the water, he jumped like a young 🦌

Today, just little "Teddy - breather laps"
