This happened maybe 10 years ago.

I suspect that letting her lick the water in rain puddles and in a nearby stream may have exposed her to all kinds of yard chemicals.

I have a chemical-free yard, and I avoid cleaning chemicals for the sakes of my dog Penny, who is 2 years old, and my daughter's dog Bailey, who is 3. They are not allowed to drink from rain puddles or the stream. I will not allow them near other peoples' chemically treated lawns. And the two cats, Salem and Dinah, are not allowed outside, period.
