If you allow your dog to swim in a lake or pond please be aware of "Blue Green Algae Toxicity".

Thanks Cindy~!  I've never let my dogs in ponds/lakes near any visible pond scum/algae, 'cause I always thought it was gross and would make them sick.  I never even thought it might kill them.  Guess I'll just have to install a pool for them.
