A patch like Phoenix? 10 degrees this A.M. How about there? Freezing water not great therapy.

Swimming is gonna have to wait till spring- good idea tho Is all of the water frozen in your area until spring? Water scarce in the high desert.Starting to freeze except Colo. River.

We used to swim in the middle of the winter in the Baltic Sea (well, Argo did, I just watched). Sometimes we just had to hike a little further, but eventually would always come to the free waves. Not sure if it is the benefit of the salt water or early puppy conditioning, but swimming was the top ranking reward for him for all 14 years.

Teresa, you said your dogs found new energy after a visit to the Chiro. They had bounce in their step and so forth. I know exactly what you are seeing. Mine act the same way after I clip them. You would think I just gave them a shot of something. I think I am going to hang my shingle out now. I am going to call this "Clipper Therapy". Now, for a mere $39.95 I can take make your dog act young again. ;D ;D

Hey Don, the price is right but the commute's a killer(15 hr. each way). Might be worth it just to see you , Betty and your posse. Might even let you clip me if it makes me feel younger. I could stand to lose a few years and a few lbs.

Mack, Try "chondroprotect" from Triple Crown. It is human grade and the generic equivalent of Adeqan(sp?). I've used it for relief of HD, bad backs and bum legs. I use it personally for my knees and the stuff is wonderful...nonsteroidal, no side effects and can not be overdosed. It is subq injectable. I'll give it a look, thanks.

Dogs always have more bounce when leaving something they don't like. Don, you have just proved my theory about those dales having too much hair!!
