💦 🐾 Water Safety Starts w/ Awareness! 🐾💦

Golden Retrievers and water go together like sunshine and summer. But not every pond, lake or slow-moving stream is safe. 🌿⚠️

Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) can be extremely dangerous, and even a quick swim or drink can lead to serious illness.

Before your next adventure:

✅ Check the water for green scum, mats, or discoloration
✅ Keep your Golden from drinking questionable water
✅ Rinse them off after swimming
✅ When in doubt, choose another spot to splash! 🏖️

Our Goldens trust us to keep them safe. A few extra minutes of caution can help ensure many more happy swims, wagging tails and muddy paw prints ahead. 🐕💛

The USASA National is a wrap. It was a performance national for us. Crush didn’t q but had beautiful runs in utility and grad open. Dash earned his first RA leg with an 86 and 4th place. Both boys showed their hearts out.

The Purina staff was wonderful…we had 2 tornado warnings and sirens going off on Wednesday during the gala / top 20. I was amazed on how the dogs handled it.

Looking forward to the national next year.
