Danger, Will Robinson! Blue Algae

We were at the vet with Tag this afternoon. He's still suffering from allergies. For the next two months he's only allowed to eat his special anti-allery food and water. No treats. No biscuits. No bones. No peanut butter on a spoon. Poor pooch.

Just as we are about to leave, the vet says that he forgot to clean the anal sacs. I hear him say this and it doesn't register. I see him lube up his glove and it doesn't register. I see him poking about and it still doesn't register. He asks me to assist him and then the smell creeps up on me. What a foul foul FOUL smell.

Not what I signed up for when I bought a dog.

The moat that circles Ravenstein was off limits for fishing last month because of blue algae.

I saw a number of people fishing despite the warning.
