Does your dog hunt? Does he dig? What dog doesn’t?
They all do. Is the woods around your house and kennels
damp or is there a pond or stream or any source of
moisture? Well, good grief, what woods isn’t? Are you

Well, here is a why not! BLASTOMYCOSIS!! And
just what is that that would kill a dog just for doing
what comes naturally. Blastomycosis is a fungal disease
caused by Blastomyces dermatides. “It occurs mostly in
dogs and humans, but has been diagnosed in horses, cats,
and even sea lions”, said Dr. Ronald D Smith, professor
specializing in epidemiology of infectious diseases at the
University of Illinois college of Veterinary Medicine.

Oh wow. That's crazy. I never heard of that before. Winston lives near a small creek but it's one neighbors house over and its a very small creek that will even dry up during hot months. But that's very interesting. Thank you for posting!
