Baby has a cold

It has long been believed that young children who spend time in daycare have more colds and illnesses than those who stay at home. Lucy has made me a believer. After just three days at doggie daycare, she has a cold -- I guess. She sneezes and sneezes, one after the other, and then gives me this face like she's coughing up some post-nasal drip. I thought it might have originated at doggie daycare, since that's been the only change in environment. Then last night, while talking to the another couple whose dog uses the same service, they mentioned that Winston (their dog, and Lucy's good pal) has been doing the same thing. Whoddu thunk it. Baby got a cold in daycare!

Does she have the canine distempter vaccine? This keeps Ursa from getting colds.

I think so. She is current on all of her vaccines, and I think this was one of the ones she got last summer right after we moved here. I'll double check. She was having such a hard time last night when we went out to go potty. I told Wes to watch her today (he's home in preparation for starting night shifts tonight). I'll call the daycare if things don't clear up to see if they know what's causing it or if other dogs are suffering also.
