Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 01:12:44 PMMuddy,  you say about Mungo drinking from your pond?   
I don't want to worry you,  but you should never let him to do that.

I have 2 bird births, and 2 drinkers,  for the wild birds,  but they are scrubbed out weekly,  and topped up daily.
I always find the Pigeons are the worst for crapping in the water.  They sit on the edge, have their drink, then turn round, crap in the water,  and then fly off!  Not very nice for the next one to drink from.
Fish a pooing in the water all the time,  and so is everything else who uses it.
I never let my dogs drink from puddles,  bird baths, or those bowls some shops leave outside for dogs.

Gertie used to drink from the bird bath, and got poorly,  and when I had a sample tested, she had E.Coli.

Lastly,  have a quick look at this:

Dogs should not be allowed to drink from garden ponds because the stagnant water is a breeding ground for dangerous parasites, bacteria, and toxins. Ingesting pond water can lead to severe gastrointestinal distress, liver or kidney damage, and even be fatal.

So do be careful with the old fella. 



I have put a large green bowl ( to make be,eive it's a pond ) full of water outside the back door Mups and Mungo has at last tried it .

Bath time at the care home wasn't fun
Bert had to bend over for them wash his bum
Then into the bath chair 
To be hoisted in the air
And scrubbed in the water till numb.


The carers would come with a big towel
While Bert greeted them with a big scowl

A priest asked a rabbi "Did you ever try bacon?"

The rabbi says "Yes, once. Now let me ask you, did you ever try a young lady from the flock?"

The priest says "Yes, once."

The rabbi says "Hell of a lot better than bacon, isn't it?"

Catholic priests hated the Jews, the people idolised their priests and did as they were told, that's one theory. The Catholic church also has control of many schools where hating the Jews was 'quietly' taught.

I went to a convent school, when I look back there was an emphasis on religious studies but I can't remember how the nuns viewed Jews, it was a long time ago..  :smiley:
