Howllo Fellow Hound Lovers: As usual, Marty Mays kicks off a fund raiser. Marty sends 5.00 to the Lily basset hound town foundation, send a buck fund raiser.

Look at her, is she too cute? I turn 50 on 6-15-07 and she turns 50 on
6-16-07. OK, Marty, I am one day older than you. Now get on the horn and tell everyone about Lily’s Basset Bucks.

Everyone who is checking in, keep checking in. I will have tons of stuff on this blog page about this year long event. I hope to raise thousands of dollars. The hounds need it.

Please send Lily a dollar. This will be a huge, fun event. More Later…My Vlog to follow! Cat, Chaps and Emma

This is from BROOD’s newsletter today. The outbreak is in Burke, VA.

Quote:

---

Below is taken from the Burke Veterinary Clinic web site:

On Wednesday May 23, 2007 a dog presented to the Burke Veterinary
Clinic in Burke, Virginia with symptoms of acute onset of fever, nasal
discharge, cough, innapetance, and reluctance to move. These symptoms
are consistent with several diseases, but the history suggested Canine
Influenza. The dog lived in a restricted environment, but was at the
Dog Park on Monday May 21. The illness developed that night and
progressed to a dire medical event by Wednesday.

Nasal swabs were tested for influenza by the X-PECT FLU A+B test at a
local human hospital. These tests were positive for influenza.
Official confirmation will require a sample in 2 weeks to be sent to
the testing lab at Cornell University.

The impact of this discovery is serious for the dog owning population
because Canine Influenza has a 5% fatality rate, and at the present
time there is no effective vaccine. This dog contracted the virus from one
of a group of dogs that was playing outdoors at a dog park. The virus
is spread by aerosol means. Your dog cannot pick it up from the
environment. It is advisable that dogs be kept away from each other
until an effective vaccine is available. This means NO DOG PARKS, NO
INDOOR GROOMING, NO BOARDING KENNELS, NO GROUP DOG TRAINING CLASSES.
The initial presentation mimics Kennel Cough.
The distinction is that Influenza usually causes a high fever.
Influenza also presents in a similar fashion as Canine Distemper Virus,
but this virus has been all but eliminated by proper vaccinations.

Further information is available at the Center for Disease Control’s
website

Howllo Fellow Hound Lovers: Every Wednesday I have Lisa, MY graphic artist come to my home and we work on various projects I have set up. She works for 5 hours and it seems like she is here for 15 minutes. It is never enough time. We are working on the second book, and other stuff. I get really excited when summer rolls around because I get to hire her 15 year old son to do work around the house. 2384

I become giddy with joy! Today he planted trees and did massive yard work. He is really good. It seems like only yesterday he was a young kid with glasses and braces playing with the Emma pup.

2387

But it was the summer of 2004. This picture was the start of a life long friendship. Chaps and Emma think he hung the Moon. I do too! Thanks for making my life easier Brandon. I love you! Kit Kat
