Sick Tree Treatment from Howard Garrett, the Dirt Doctor. It works very well.

I took the dogs for a walk this evening and stopped to talk with a neighbor who is working on a milkweed bed to attract butterflies. She asked if I could identify a volunteer tree in her back yard (all I could tell her is that it's in the dogwood family. It's a shrub that grows in the woods around here). While back there, my dogs were so excited. She has a swimming pool, and even the catahoula (who hates our little wading pool or the sprinkler) was all animated. The pit bull actually ended up in the water up to her front shoulders before I hauled her out, but that's because she wanted to chase the floating rubber duck (with a thermometer built in its tummmy, apparently). She was a stray, so we don't know her early history, and it may include swimming pools. Regardless, it isn't swimming pool weather yet, but she's fearless. :)
