Swimming in resivoirs ? and OUCH

[Bettyboo222]

Two different things, 1 thread

First - Resivoirs, would you let your dog swim/paddle in them ? I was at the resivoir with another dog walker today and he let his dog in the water as there is a seperate 'pond' next to the dog park. The 'pond' has a concrete bottom, as opposed to mud and it is clear. Would you let your dog in it ?

Ouch, Took biscuit out jogging. Went to run through some grass and foot got stuck in a pothole, trust it to be my bad ankle as well and not my half decent one. Vet wrapped it and shall see if I can walk tommorow, its the same hole that I did my knee in with as well :/

Biscuit was a star though, he came back and lay next to me until I could get up.

I would let him in the water so long as it was fairly clear (no algae). Reservoirs in this country don't go straight into the drinking water supply so a bit of dog drool isn't going to hurt anyone

Ouch, your poor ankle Elevation and an icepack are in order, I think!

The water seems clean and clear (not the spot busting type ) May let him go for it tommorow, but on his long line

I let mine in the reso although get in trouble if the warden turns up As spudlet says watch out for blue green algae though.
And OUCH!

Depends on the Reservoir and if it was open access or members only and if it was used for recreational use as opposed to being a nature reserve.
