| #3 If their dog has had a respiratory illness it should be kept at home for two weeks, says Crawford, to let it recover and prevent other dogs becoming infected. Hatfield was so looking forward to Aruba. |

| #2 More at link [snip] In a CDC briefing on Monday, Crawford said that between April and May 2005, the deadly flu had also crossed over to domestic dogs. But she noted that in 80% of dogs the disease is mild – with the animal having only a cough and runny nose. However, as with human flu, in a minority of cases there may be complications and the dogs can develop pneumonia. The mortality rate is currently between 5% and 8%. The team is urging anxious dog owners to take a commonsense approach. If their dog has had a respiratory illness it should be kept at home for two weeks, says Crawford, to let it recover and prevent other dogs becoming infected. But if a dog remains well, life should go on as normal. |

| #1 If only we weren't in Iraq, we would be able to confront this new, unexpected event. It is truly a crisis of biblical proportions. It's done. Pop a cold one and watch the country die. All because of dog flu. Thanks, Bush. |
