Wonderful Trip to the UK!!! in '05
London was memorable and so was driving on the "wrong" side of the road!!! By far the best part of our trip was the time we spent with Kay and her family!
We enjoyed several walks with the dogs, in and around Delph in Lancashire, England.

Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) Testing
"Collies share Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) with several other breeds – it’s not just a problem for collies. CEA is more technically known as Choroidal Hypoplasia (CH). It is a recessively inherited eye disorder that causes abnormal development of the choroid - an important layer of tissue under the retina of the eye. This disease is seen most frequently in U.S. collies, but also worldwide in Rough and Smooth Collies, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Lancashire Heelers, and Shetland Sheepdogs. Since the choroid layer does not develop normally from the start, the primary abnormality can be diagnosed at a very young age. Regrettably, there is no treatment or cure for CEA."

Canine influenza virus emerges in Florida
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services posted an
alert Sept. 20 on an emerging respiratory tract disease in dogs that can
mimic signs of kennel cough. The disease is more serious, however, and
generally requires the attention of a veterinarian. Known as canine influenza
or canine flu, the disease is caused by a highly contagious virus that
was recently identified by researchers at the University of Florida College
of Veterinary Medicine.
The FDACS reported that all dogs, regardless of breed or age, are susceptible
to infection and do not have naturally acquired or vaccine-induced immunity.
While most dogs that become infected experience a milder form of influenza,
some develop a more acute disease with clinical signs of pneumonia. Among
the latter group, the mortality rate is 1 to 5 percent.
Look for the University of Florida's report on canine flu in an upcoming
issue of Science magazine. Meanwhile, for a copy of the FDACS alert, log

Public To Newly Emerging Canine Flu."
