| Different strain of virus. Much like how we don't get colds/coughing when they experience kennel cough,...they can't give it to us. |

| I wonder about that too, because my vet told me to kissing on Sabrina when I had a sore throat that I was giving her tonsillitis! I truly couldn't tell if he was kidding or not and when I said "You're kidding, right?" He just laughed at me and started with the shots, meds etc. I do know that a lot of illnesses that people have and dogs have ARE contagious, that's why they get the shots. I just don't know about colds etc. |

| So weird! I was sick all weekend too and I was going to post something about this! Sam has been sleeping on the couch with me for the past 2 days and I thought he caught what I have. Then I was wondering if he knew I was sick and just wanted to keep me warm and cuddle . They are sooo smart b/c I really think he knows that something's wrong with me! I love my little guy.
