I had a lab get Giardia - an intestinal bug somewhat common to ponds and the main reason we should boil stream water when camping... He picked it up camping, drinking out of a lake. It was as nasty and unpleasant as it might be in people, vomiting and diarrhea ... But recoverable, and that's only one time I've seen them get sick... Otherwise, I've seen dogs drink from and eat the foulest things and be just fine. :~D So go figure.

Ok other than the HUGE logs littering the beach the Pups can play but I better wash my hounds and hands before returning to work. : )
