Barbs of the foxtail (and other grass seeds) can become embedded causing serious health problems and death.       Blue-Green Algae and Dogs: The Invisible Poisoning Threat Blue-green algae and dogs can be a dangerous combination, one that has only recently gained recognition when several owners lost their dogs to cyanobacteria after exposure to this devastating threat.       Coping With Heatstroke in Dogs Heatstroke in dogs can be a real concern as they don't have the same built in cooling system that humans do.       Exercise Induced Collapse in Australian Shepherds Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC) is a serious condition that affects many breeds including the Australian Shepherd.       Photo of the Month     This is Luka when we went hiking at the Chickasaw National Recreation Park in Sulphur, Oklahoma. Luka was trained specifically to be a trail dog. He had near perfect recall at only a year old and is able to be off leash if the area permits it. At this location we went for a swim in the beautiful Sulphur Springs and met some buffalo after a long hike! He is the most loyal companion and is always up for the next great adventure.
