Pets risk catching dangerous bugs from Owners

Uhm, interesting!
I thought the only bug that Winston and Henrietta could catch from me is my "dessert" fever!

I do find this interesting- Last winter when all my dogs were so sick I was also very sick. In addition to pneumonia, I had strep... and we think Sami may have had strep as well. When I asked the vet if that were possible he said it was possible- though not real common. Apparently there have been cases of dogs catching the flu from their owner as well. It's rather scary if we think about it-

(WOW) that is really scary. Always thought it was the other way around? .

Working in a hospital and all the "super" bugs around I was always careful with my kids. I never thought about the dogs though. Interesting. yvonne
