Anna, You should be a writer! That was a great post.

Well, I'm jealous of your "late season snow"; down here in SE Louisiana we haven't had so much as a FLAKE in a couple of years now!
Of course, I probably shouldn't tell you that my pool is already up to 72 degrees and other than still being too chilly to swim, it's completely open.
I guess it's a trade-off.

Hope things warm up for you soon so you can enjoy your pool again! I'm quite ready for it, myself!

What do you mean, 72 is too chilly to swim??? We closed last year when the water dropped below 50F. Oh, ok . . . only the dogs were swimming, but still. I learned to swim in the North Sea where the water never even reaches 72. Of course, that was a few years ago. Sigh.

As to being a writer, thanks! You might enjopy this one: http://www.workingdogs.com/visiting_dogs.htm

Wow! That is a great article!
I think that working dogs are so wonderful! My daughter has a friend who has trained her dog (a Golden Retriever) to be a therapy dog and she has been a blessing to SO many people! They work directly with hospice and some local nursing homes in their area.

Wow! The North Sea??? Ok, yeah, that's a bit too chilly for my blood!
I can't wait until the water gets above 80... of course, in the middle of summer, I'm always looking for ways to cool it down; my pool is small (~12,000 gallons) and it heats up quickly!
