Thanks! I called our pool supply store and was told it was worse for the dog to swim in the pool, as far as our chemicals go, than what the chemicals would do to the dog. She said for every ONE dog in the pool, it's like having 50 people, so the chemical balance would get WAY off and a lot of chemicals would have to be used to get the balance back. That doesn't really bother me. I just worry about the chemical hurting my dog.

I'm just going to hang back and let her enjoy herself. I bought her a life jacket, too.
