darned...I missed the entire news story...but it seems 'dog flu' is rampant in our area suddenly. they've closed some shelters temporarily, and they were giving symptoms later in the broadcast but I missed that part. so..is it like people flu? I never thought of my dogs getting flu. I don't think they will cause they are never exposed to other dogs that may have it, but apparently it's been going around dogs that play at parks, etc. anybody else hear of this? I don't think I'd want to take my dogs to the vet right now, just to be sure. unless it was an emergency, no need to subject them to other sick dogs.

yeah, before we got sylvie last week we went to the SPCA here in town and couldn't see any of the dogs. apparently one had the flu and until they could move it and clean out the area, and check the other dogs, they didn't want anyone coming in and being around them
