I have noticed that my water will leave a slimy pink film on certain surfaces like a sink drain, bath toys, or dog water bowl. What would cause this and how can I fix it?

What you're most likely looking at is a bacteria called Serratia Marcescens.
According to Wikipedia it is commonly found growing in bathrooms (especially on tile grout, shower corners, toilet water line, and basin)
as well as many other places.
From that source (and others), the best way to get rid of it is regular cleaning by soaking & scrubbing with bleach-based disinfectants.
X-14 spray cleaner, or Tile-X bathroom cleaner, both of which contain bleach, so don't get it on your clothes or rugs. Spay it on and leave it there, no scrubbing etc. for a few minutes.
