Strange, all my text is gone…..
The first video is of a dog that has been unwilling and afraid to go into water for almost 3 years…. I told Amy I thought we could get him comfortable in the water……..to just give him another chance.

First video in the comment is after approximately a 1/2 hr in the water between the Mal and the Beagle.
He is doing amazing.

STEEL VALLEY CLUSTER:
Hello to all of you!
I am deeply apologetic for the delay in getting your confirmations out to you in a more timely manner.
I had a pretty big hiccup with my laptop and have lost quite a bit of data....
I am including your dog's name/breed, if you do not see your dog's name/breed, or your friend's dog's name/breed. Please either have them send me a screenshot of the Jotform entry they submitted or have them email me ASAP.
Easiest way would be to just reply with "CANFIELD" in the subject line. If you are receiving this email, I have your info!
If you mailed an entry, you should still receive this info, unless it has not arrived yet....
PLEASE reply with:
Your Name
Dogs Call Name
Registered Name
BREED
AKC, PAL or CP number
Dogs height or handicap
# of runs & days you signed up for.
I will suggest you arrive at the time you selected, as it is evening out fairly well. Also, if you are showing, please get over, or send someone to at least let me know you are there, and your dog's name, so we can wait for you.
BRING TWO LEASHES!!!! Bring water and a water bowl, bring a friend or helper if you have one. Please step in to help release dogs, if you can, and to give breaks to the people manning the gates, would be very appreciated.
The Fast Cat course will be just inside the gate, where you pay for parking. It is OUTSIDE of the fairgrounds to the right after paying... There will be signs. Please do NOT park on the far side of the course, closest to the road. We are trying to keep people from walking along the fence, between the lure operator and the dogs, as well as away from the timing table......
I'M SUPER EXCITED TO SEE YOU AND YOUR DOGS!!!!!
TALLY-HO!!!
Marie

We had a some pretty special guests this weekend! Griffin came all the way from Deleware, the state:)
And today, Blanton came from Maryland!
I asked Jamie to let me know that she arrived home safely, as she was traveling by herself.
This is the message and photo I just received:

Hi Marie! I just wanted to let you know I just arrived back home safely in Delaware and wanted to thank you for such a wonderful time yesterday. You guys were so welcoming and so helpful getting me through my nerves on the dock with AR! It felt like I was around friends I’ve known for years! You really have a special group of people working and attending events at your dock. I can’t wait to return! Thank you again! We had a blast!!

I want to give a huge shout out to all of you, TGD Framily, for keeping the event running smoothly, being helpful, answering questions, being KIND, keeping it so very fun, and just offering positive word and good vibes…..
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping TGD become what it is today. I couldn’t do it without each and everyone of you. You are all
Amazing!!!! And I love you all so much.

Blue-green algae can look like “pea soup” scum on the water or discolored water … but it’s actually bacteria.

It’s bacteria that can photosynthesize and grow into large colonies that form blooms, often found near shores as the wind moves them along the surface. 🌊

People can become very ill when their skin comes into contact with toxic blooms, and the same is true for your dog. It can be deadly if they lick or drink any of it. 🐾

These blooms produce toxins that can cause:
- Liver damage
- Liver failure
- Muscle tremors
- Seizures
- Paralysis

Symptoms in your dog may appear in as little as 30 to 60 minutes after exposure or may take up to 12 to 24 hours to appear. 🚨

Watch for these symptoms:
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Bloody diarrhea or black, tarry stool
- Pale mucous membranes (gums)
- Jaundice (pale or jaundiced gums)
- Seizures, muscle tremors, muscle rigidity, or paralysis
- Disorientation
- Coma
- Excessive salivation or tearing
- Blue discoloration of the coat, skin, and mucous membranes
- Difficulty breathing

If your dog’s been swimming and then exhibits any of these symptoms, it's critical to take your dog to a vet as soon as possible. 🏥
