    Dog and Swimming Pool

    Need suggestions here! We adopted a 3-year old female German Shepherd back in March. Now that she's acclimated to her new home, she's taking a dip in the pool twice a day. How can I stop her from swimming in the pool? She only swims when we are not there in the backyard.

    Health Insurance

    I am thinking of cancelling health insurance for me and my two daughters (5 & 8). Open enrollment deadline is tomorrow. I don't see the justification in paying $400/month or $4800/year. We don't even need the yearly checkup. Can someone, maybe The Boys, convince me to keep our current crappy...
